The Baking Thread

[csb]

WI never said it was a role model. Don't forget J.Dahmer as well. :thumbs:

And now we're back on topic for the baking thread!

Picture on the left is the starter last night before feeding, and on the right is it this morning, before stirring/discarding/feeding. I was happy to see the little bubbles!

It needs a name. My fiancé suggested Doughboy. It might stick.

Tee hee!

My first two sourdough loaves are in the oven! I'm a bit nervous...

If you haven't already, you should probably take those out of the oven now. :thumbs:

Watch out, Leggo has two buns in the oven............... literally.

How did they turn out?

 

[Ble_PE]

Yea, we want pictures of your buns @leggo PE!

 

[leggo PE]

There is much room for improvement, but....

 

[Audi Driver P.E.]

Your buns look different than I had imagined.

 

[leggo PE]

It's because they're more a loaf than a bun.

 

[leggo PE]

Okay, I've gotta say it!

Sourdough pancakes and sourdough English muffins are SO GOOD!

 

[kevo_55]

Good as a 6 or good as a 15? (Out of a 1-10 scale.)

I hope that you were not putting that Mrs Butterworth's on those pancakes!

 

[leggo PE]

Definitely as a 15/10. So yummy! VT maple syrup on the pancakes perfectly balances out the more savory taste of them. Kerrygold unsalted butter on the English muffins and maybe a little jam? Perfect!

I would have also accepted a runny egg on those muffins.

Yum!!

Me too! Haven't gotten that far yet. Only made them yesterday.

They don't tear quite as easily as, say, a Thomas English muffin, but have the same hole-y crumb on the inside with the distinctly sourdough taste. This is the recipe I used: https://jonesinfortaste.com/sourdough-english-muffins/

The only modification I made was to bake in the oven on a baking steel at 375 degrees for 10 min. first side, then flipped and did 5 minutes on the second side. They were pretty puffy at the flip, but deflated a bit upon cooling.

Heh

Keeping it PG Supe.
