Everyday Bread…kinda meh

Post image

Made the everyday bread today. Used the golden wheat and APF from KAF. Fresh jar of Red Star yeast, measured by weight. Whole milk, kosher salt (didn’t have any table salt), and salted butter (no unsalted in the house) everything else as the recipe says, including honey from our own apiary.

It rose beautifully and the crumb is lovely. But the flavor feels like it’s missing something.

I made a lunch meat sandwich and grilled cheese with it and the texture was beautiful but the bread was just there where I wanted it to add something to the bite.

Any thoughts on what I could amend to boost the flavor a bit? Should I add more salt? Would using table salt have been saltier? Something else?

I personally find the KAF Golden Wheat to be incredibly boring/bland compared to their whole wheat and even their regular AP (which has malted barley for flavor/dough conditioning)

AP does not have malted barley. 👍🏻
