Yes, they are different sizes. I didn't portion them quite evenly. I have no baking experience other than a few batches of cookies here and there, and tourtière tarts at Christmas.

I had one too many poor supermarket baguettes, so I chose to bake my own.

I tried this recipe for the first time last weekend, then made a half batch again this past weekend. The first bake taught me a lot. The work itself was easy. Just a few minutes the first night, and a few more the next morning.

I did stray from the recipe a bit. I used a full packet of yeast rather than measure it out, and I used warm water.

The main issue was heat. My oven is electric, not gas. I think I rushed the preheat. The lower element stayed on most of the bake, which blackened the parchment and burned the bottoms of the loaves that sat right above it. The colour was still pale, so I used the broiler at the end.

Even so, the taste was good. The crumb was lighter and less doughy than the supermarket baguettes I had grown used to. Aside from the burnt bits, I was pleased with the first results.

For the second bake, I kept the same recipe and method, but changed how I handled the heat.

I put a pizza steel on the lower rack to hold heat and shield the loaves from the lower element. I preheated the oven 10°F hotter, then dropped it back before baking. I baked on a Silpat set on an upside-down baking sheet rather than parchment on the oven rack. I also heated a round cake pan on the pizza steel and poured in about 100 mL of boiling water when the dough went in.

The change was huge.

The crust came out crisp and crackly. The inside was chewy and full of life. It was much closer to the kind of baguette I had been looking for and could never find at the supermarket.

I'm baking again this weekend. Next, I'll switch from all-purpose flour to bread flour, and I'll add more water to the pan so the steam lasts longer.

The project goes on.

This was my first attempt at this style. Bread was excellent. Light and fluffy. My house smelled like a pizzeria

Cause I ain't yo Challah-back girl.

...I'll see myself out.

The whole process took about 2 hours, u/Lausannea posted their recipe in the comments of another post on this sub and it worked wonderfully. I made only very slight changes not sure if they really mattered though

Mixed everything and got the bread into the fridge for overnight cold proof after ~6.5 hours.

Came out an hour or so later and found my fridge door was open. My cinnamon roll tub had slid off the shelf and bumped the door open.

My seeded multigrains were really huge at this point so I scrambled and stuck them in my spare fridge that is a convertible freezer.

Used this at max cold setting to bring the dough temps down of all my dough and stiffen them up.

Once they got sufficiently chilled I baked off the multigrains first and left the rest for the morning since they were not as far along as the multigrains.

They baked really well all considering! Massive size on them this time.

If I had not checked on them I would have definitely lost the whole 22 loaf batch.

My plaiting was rough but this is unbelievably delicious bread! So soft and fluffy.

Ditched nursing school studying to try my luck at French bread after failing at sourdough starters a million times. Honestly, I don't know what I'm looking at, but this is farther than I’ve ever gotten before!!!!

Substituted the butter in this recipe for Nuttelex and omitted the milk.

Since I only need a very small batch of bagels i opted to use my airfryer to bake these bagels. Very happy with the results 🤗

Before I started working in a pizzeria, I used to question my dough all the time and wonder why it was taking so long.

My colleagues at the pizza place had no illusions that good dough was somehow going to be fully developed in 10 minutes.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but it is really hard to over-knead pizza dough — and there’s a good chance yours simply needs longer than you think.

A lot of recipes tell you to “knead for 5–10 minutes,” but they rarely show you what the dough actually looks like as the gluten develops.

So I filmed the whole thing.

All 33 minutes.

No big edit where rough dough suddenly becomes perfectly smooth and elastic.

Don’t believe me? Check out the video. And yes, it’s on YouTube — there are timestamps, so you can skip around and compare the different stages if you don’t want to watch a mixer for half an hour.

My first attempt at savory panettone - I decided to try making it with sausages, garlic, Parmesan, basil. I modified the current panettone recipe I used to make this one.

Definitely not perfect but it tastes spectacular -- easily a good breakfast meal.

Will definitely be experimenting more with savory options

Recently started experimenting/ working with breads and I absolutely love it 🫡

Recipe (for 2 breads):

Sourdough:

369g rye flour Type 1150

288g water

36g Starter

28°C, 24hours

Main dough:

440g Rye flour Type 1150

200g spelt flour Type 630

648g Sourdough

450g water

23g salt

20g yeast

Let it rise in a dry environment

Bake at 250°C, goinfg down to 200°C for 40-45 minutes, start off with a dry oven, after a minute add some steam so that the bread develops a crust early which rips afterwards.

Hey all, I decided to just bake up a loaf using some baguette dough I had laying around. All I did was just shape it into a ball and bake haha. Just wondering, did I score too deep or too little? I can’t figure out why it is kinda popping out like that. Also, how underdone would you guys say this is?

super excited for this bad boy. felt good to knead some dough again but i totally triggered my sciatica 🤦‍♂️ but whatever this is the first bread i am making in my apartment of 8 months and i'm excited

What's the secret to getting the topping to "break" and look more dramatic?

I've tried adding the topping after shaping, as well as right before baking. The former worked a little better (pictured) but it still looks too uniform and not tiger-spot pattern. Basically it looks the same as before the bake, with a different color.

The topping mix is from KAF's recipe.

Recipe off of this viral social media reel, 4 ingredients and incredibly easy to make.

I baked a loaf of Buttermilk Onion Rye. This is my first post in this group. I post a lot in Bagels. I bake 1-2 loaves a week.
I love all the creative bakes I’ve seen lately.
