My first successful-ish sourdough bread

My first successful-ish sourdough bread

I finally achieved my beautiful crumb on my 7th try. This was the bread I wasn’t meticulous with the measurements and oven temp lol, given I failed on my previous attempts. There are still wet patches though because I cannot wait and I’m hungry hahaha. I believe this was 60% hydration but not sure cuz I didn’t care with that on this attempt. There was also a brownout in our subdivision so my cold proof lasted beyond 24hrs hahahaha (I expected this to have a tangy flavor). I’ll have another try and post my recipe. I cannot rely on my measurements in this attempt since my kitchen scale is cheap and cannot detect enough the lighter weights (esp. less than 5g). I’ll just keep experimenting and share my progress here. 🥹

First Attempt on French Macarons

Hello bakers, how can I improve my macarons? They have feet pero nagspread din e. I used Martha Stewart’s recipe.

Hunch ko is the higher temp I used. Recipe called for 160 C, but nagloloko oven ko and won’t sustain the fire unless it’s 180 C and up. So I baked them at 180 C for a lesser amount of time.

May you also suggest a coloring agent para maka-achieve ng deep dark red?

Costing Help

Since mahilig ako magbake, laging sinusuggest na try ko magsell but sa costing talaga ako nahihirapan. I've already done it for my regular cookies, pero sa stuffed cookies (pistachio kataifi) medyo ??

A relative of mine gave some ingredients as support, but how will that factor out sa costing?? It will significantly lower the srp, pero paano naman sa long run. This won't be a full on business btw, I'll only be selling within our community from time to time because school is starting. 😅

Mallows for S'mores Cookies

Hello! Please help po paano d matunaw ung mallows sa loob ng cookies pag binake? Tinry ko siya ifreeze with the dough, unang try maganda kinalabasan then ung mga next batch na parang mawawala na ung mallows sa loob after baking 😭 for this batch medyo nagthaw siya sa ref for 5 mins bago ko isalang sa oven yun kayo ang reason? Need ba na straight from the freezer ang pagbake para d agad matunaw ung mallows?

Milk Bread Cinnamon Roll

I’ve been craving this for a week na, literally thinking about it every minute lol. I found a good recipe on the internet. Check out Cambrea Bakes’ Milk Bread Cinnamon Rolls! Sobrang lambot ng bread, I swear, because it uses tangzhong. I also enjoyed kneading the dough by hand, at some point it felt like I was slapping and folding clouds 🥰 The house smells so good now!!
