Hello Lovely Peeps! 👋

This is just the thing for a quiet Sunday morning - watching a man make sourdough bread by himself in his own micro bakery / homestead in the middle of the woods. 🌳 🍞 🌳

No refrigeration, no commercial yeast, only pre-industrial methods (beyond a mixer, because let's be real) - I found it interesting and soothing to watch the process from beginning to end. 😊

#BreadMachine #BreadMaking
A couple or three weeks ago someone posted on here about problems they were having with bread making. A retired baker replied with an offer to help as he enjoyed problem solving. Anyway, we are now in the "we have a problem" situation, but I cannot recall the name of the person who offered to help, to see if they can help us.
If anyone knows, please tell me !!
Thanks.

Can someone recommend a reliable recipe for homemade basic white bread? Some points to note. I don't have a mixer or a dutch oven. I do have active dry yeast, rather than fresh, compressed yeast. Not looking for a quick and easy, 'no kneading' recipe. Just the basics. Every recipe I see on the internet is quite different - all seem to have different proportions of ingredients, some use unsalted butter, some suggest an egg, some milk... It's maddening for a newbie.

As I mention occasionally, #breadMaking for me is a free-form, hands-on thing with no measuring and no recipes. I just throw together what I feel like in the moment for this sourdough batch.

So i don't know how much I'm making, typically, even as I'm scooping flours out of my bins & jars.

Today it came to about 2.5kg of dough, so I'm turning that into two 750g batards and a 1.0kg boule.

It's just flour(s) salt and water, so not much to worry about.

Gluten-free bread makers! Do you have a bread machine? Can you make reliably decent bread with it?

I'm getting worn out with GF bread prices ($5-8 a loaf where I live) and would like to find some alternatives. Making it by hand every time is difficult for me with chronic illness issues, but I'd be willing to invest in a bread maker if I knew I could get into a reliable routine with loaves that worked (just basic sandwich loaves).

Forgot I was making bread today and saw it waiting for me there as I headed to bed. Ugh.

And it's a special batch of rye as well.

Oh well, it's had a good happy primary ferment and risen nicely, not blown out, so I've formed up loaves in bannetons and stuck them into the fridge to bake off in the morning.

In preparation for unexpected supply chain breakdowns next year a la those crazy first weeks of the first lockdown 4 years ago, fresh bread is a particular area for concern. Never been a baker so an all in one machine is my preference. The Panasonic SD2540 has very good reviews. I’m simply looking to have a good 800g Farmhouse loaf every 4 days. Is this good enough for that? #Breadmaking

Okay I make lots of bread, and different kinds and shapes. From sourdough boules and batards, to brioche, focaccia and burger buns, and from exotic fermented teff-flour injera to experimental tubular sausage buns.

I've never made ciabatta. It seemed pretty pointless, just a square shaped bun, but getting these store-bought ones for camping on Thursday, I had an epiphany…
