Baking Bread.

[bullet08]

Always wanted to be those big round rustic breads. Finally did it x) Flour, Water, Salt and Yeast was the name of the book. Easy to follow instructions, and some background info. Burnt on the bottom, but figured out how to prevent it. Lodge cast iron dutch oven was a nice x) This was my first bread.

Well done!
I’ve been wanting to bake artisan bread for a while. I have a bread pot and a Dutch oven ready for the task. I just need to take the time to do it.The proofing part seems time consuming.

I’ve tried my hand at baking bread for about forty years now, and I’ve never came very close to Bunny Bread.

How Bunny Bread always gets a soft, white, incredibly tasty and long lasting bread I’ve never been able to understand.

Ground chicken feathers is the magic ingredient, so it's said.

Looks great keep going.
My dad is the master bread and pie maker. He's always dabbled, but sinse my mom died in 2021, he has become quite the baker. He makes all sorts, but Limpa Rye is his masterpiece. We used to grow a hybrid cereal rye for our livestock. But due to my dads rye bread making, we switched to a Winter rye. He likes it better for his Limpa, sourdough, and Pumpernickle.....the animals dont care.
He also makes a mean peanut butter pie. He always has them ready to go in his freezer.

Nice work Bullet. Making bread is an enjoyable activity. I’ve been at it for a few years but slow down quite a bit in the summer. Winter seems to be more downtime at home able to nursing a proofing dough. The “Bread Bible” is a good recipe book for all things bread.

Looks good! Plenty of nice air bubbles.

Nice!

This is among the most fundamental and beautiful crafts.

My wife mills her own flour to make artisinal sourdough.

Beautiful piece of bread. Blessed be the wheat. I love freshly baked bread with cow's butter with a good coffee with milk. For an afternoon snack.

I've only made sourdough but it's been great making bread both myself and my family enjoy. Lodge Dutch oven is perfect for it. Actually need to make some today.

My wife just bought a mill. It had been a game changer for us. Right now she is making smaller things like muffins and pancakes until we can save up enough for a quality mixer. At that point she will venture into bread.

I remember the smell of my mom baking bread. She made 4 loaves a week for all 12 of us in the house. I bake bread occasionally; usually some baguettes. Nothing like a fresh baguette. I eat it straight.

Nice looking crumb. Pretty sweet for a first try!

It takes a loaf or two to get the feel of your oven.

Hard to beat home made bread.

after we started making home made bread I can not imagine how much cash I've wasted on inferior bread over the years. That loaf looks lovely by the way. Fun thing it gets better too as you figure things out. I'd eat the hell out of that loaf by the way.

My late wife did most of the baking back when. Now I mostly make beer bread, sometimes called 1,2,3 bread as it has only 3 ingredients: one 12 oz. can of beer, two tablespoons sugar, and three cups of self rising flour. Super simple, I just use the toaster oven, and there's a lot of experimenting and adding of additional ingredients if you like.

Nice loaf!
Dutch ovens are awesome, as is cast iron cookware in general.

I gave it a shot today and I’m pretty happy with the results of this first time effort.

It’s a bit more dense than I’d intended but it tastes great. I’m looking forward to making a few adjustments to my method next time around.

Getting better at it x) Better oven spring. Learning to read the dough instead of just following recipe.
