r/Bread

Alright, "can't stop" might be an exaggeration, but as a former baker, this is some of the best and easiest bread I've ever made so I've been making it every day the past few days. They taste like authentic baguettes, but come together in just two hours! Honestly taste better than the authentic stuff I used to make at school. First picture is of some of the plain baguettes I made to start. Second and third, I replaced 3/4 up of water with pickle juice and added about a tablespoon of caraway seends.

It's not technically rye, but it tastes like the best rye bread I've ever had.

I already have ideas for others I can try! Cinnamon swirl, french onion, cheese, sundried tomato and basil...

Anyone have any suggestions?

I used Sally’s “Soft Dinner Rolls” recipe for my base, I have slight adjustments. I use a little less flour and I work the butter in a little colder because my kitchen runs very warm.

Baked in a glass baking dish - hot honey butter brush, everything bagel seasoning, shredded cheddar and then baked it for 30 minutes until the cheese got crispy.

100/10 will be making these again.

This sourdough focaccia loaf has been sitting in my freezer for a month and it’s still soooo good. Forget what people say about sourdough being expensive - you really get the best bang for your buck because it’s fermented, you can freeze it, and it’s delicious.

What I sometimes make with frozen sourdough focaccia - canapés. Slice the focaccia 1/4 inch thin. Lay it out on a cookie sheet, bake in the oven at 220C for 7 mins. Your trusty air fryer does the job too, just don’t overtoast it. You want the edges crunchy, the crumb still soft. Then layer the following: butter (I use Echire), a mashed anchovy, some diced onions, and parsley. Easy snack to make when surprise guests suddenly show up at your doorstep. In my case, I just made them for me.

Very easy to live like a queen with a few freezer and pantry staples :) Homemade in Quezon City, Philippines 🇵🇭

Had some very very ripe bananas and followed MIL recipe which never fails.

I was looking for bread like this in many bakeries, with no luck. I have never baked bread before, but it seems like I would have to. A darker, soft, fluffy with crispy crust.

Taking a ride back to childhood with Jam Bread and adding a masaledaar tinch of Mad Angles to it.

How does it taste???? – Well a very sweet, a little dry and savoury snack that I might try it again! Would you try this or mix something else with mad angles??

(Picture of my fifth bake. Still working on consistent shaping.)

The dogs and cat have offered to get me a bread slicer for Fathers' Day, as I've been admiring the nice German one on various web sites.

I've been slicing my loaves all at once, with a bread knife, as my spouse appreciates the convenience. Does the countertop approach change this flow? They look like they'd be better for slice-as-you-go.

Also, if you're pro-slicer, do you have any thoughts on the expensive German models versus the ones that are about one quarter the price? I'd be willing to go for the German model if it's noticeably better.

First ever attempt of making my own bread and it went terrible, very doughy and not very edible.

Looking for some tips and advice for future attempts.

I picked up fast action yeast pouches from the shops. It was the only yeast they had.
I followed the instructions on the packet.
I’ll post the picture of the instructions the only part I did different was leave it in a bowl to rise for 2 hours instead of greased tin. (I did cover it with a damp towel tho)

Tried using my traditional floral Dutch oven for one and it's just... A blob of bread. But hey, I know it will taste amazing!

Avocado and sourdough toast lovers, please help me with some quick and easy recipes for making this every morning before work!
