All I see is doomer comments and I know most gamers tend to be really critical of changes.
I would love a balanced view of a sorcerer who tested last changes. Specifically on solo play (because that's all I do).
Thanks 🙏🏻
Hey everyone,
I’ve been baking bread for a while now, and I keep running into the same issue. the bread comes out with a stronger yeast smell and taste than I’d like. This batch is just one example, but honestly, it happens with pretty much every bread I make.
What I’m really aiming for is something closer to store bought bread, where the yeast flavor is very mild and not noticeable.
For reference, here’s roughly what I used in this one:
- 475g flour
- 7.5g dry yeast (about 1.5 tsp)
- 35g honey
- 2 eggs
- 40g olive oil
- 55g cold water
- 7g salt
My process:
First rise: about 1.5 hours in the oven with just the light on
Second rise: around 30 minutes
The result is awesome for me texture wise, but the yeast flavor/smell is too noticeable for me.
Important note: this isn’t a one-off it happens pretty consistently with different breads I make.
What could be causing this?
Too much yeast?
Proofing method (oven light)?
Proofing time too long/short?
Something else?
Would really appreciate advice on how to get a cleaner, less “yeasty” flavor 🙏
Thank you all in advance ♥️
