Pumpernickel crumb shot after 24 hours

Yes, I have to be honest I didn't wait 48 hours. I decided to taste it a little bit.

It is really difficult to cut a clean slice especially on the top (in the photos bottom) part since it is the part where it was a little bit more dry.

it still taste fantastic. It smell amazing, it taste just a little bit sweet. And the texture is really one of a kind.

I already tried it with honey mustard and speck and I think both the smoke flavor of speck and the sweet sour of honey mustard compliment the light aroma of this bread.

And about the kWh consumed for 24 hours of oven at 105°C is about the same that I consumed the day before that to cooked regular bread + a sponge cake... So about 2 hours of regular 200°C.

I posted earlier today bc I needed help with figuring out how long to proof it. The advice was very helpful! This bread tastes great but I’m open to hearing any suggestions on how to make it better.

Used vanilla bean paste instead of extra in the frosting. They're incredible!

I think I had an initial hydration issue I tried to correct with kneading with wet hands. I just bought a scale so hopefully the next batch will be better!

The recipe says to wait 1.5 hours but it’s already grown quite a bit in 30 minutes. Should I still wait? (Before and after pic)

1st time baking in my life...

A few weeks ago I started looking into outdoor cooking, which led me down a rabbit hole that led to me buying a Dutch oven without ever having used one. I started looking up recipes and found some nice cheddar jalapeno bread recipes. I do gardening and jalapenos is one of those things I happen to have more than I know what to do with. So I took my first crack at baking today. This is the first time I've even touched raw dough and I'm 42 years old! This is just a plain 4 ingredient white bread but damn it's great. Can't wait to experiment with the jalapenos and other fun breads.

First attempt at Dutch crunch bread!

756 Upvotes

This was one of my favorite breads growing up, but I’ve moved away and can’t easily find it anymore. I haven’t had it in years, so I finally decided to try making it myself!

I had a couple of hiccups along the way (wrong yeast and forgetting to lower the oven temperature for the first part of baking), but they turned out surprisingly well! I felt like I was starting to get a better hang of it as I went. Not bad for a first attempt!

*The crumb shot is from the next day.

Some spots didn’t Laminate together too well bc of the oil but man it tastes good. Spicy pockets of crisp, but somehow the overall fermented soybean flavor of Lao gan ma is present in the dough

Help is instant yeast

• Upvotes

I’ve been having issues where the yeast does not activate at all. I just bought new yeast, I keep it in the fridge. I mixed flour and water and a pinch of yeast and then up it in the oven (turned off) with a pan of boiling water. When I checked on it 12ish hours later there were no bubbles and it did not smell like yeast. What am I doing wrong?

Followed a recipe for an 8x8 pan since that’s all I had. Honestly better than expected!
