Sometimes baking is not going well, the new recipe has a weird quantity of the ingredients so the dough doesn't rise good enough or rises too much and flops in the oven. Sometimes you start the dough and then realize you have to leave the house to go somewhere, so you rush through the bread baking stages to finish by the time you have to leave. The pleasure is gone. The end result is a proof of that.
We're going to the mountains next weekend, so this weekend for the last baking in June I planned to try a new recipe for a mustard oil bread and also use a quick whey loaf recipe for the Russian croissants. This weekend's baking session wasn't exactly successful: the mustard oil bread flopped in the oven and the croissants were too chewy (but looked very appealing). The mustard oil bread's taste reminded me the taste of ciabatta but it has a finer texture and doesn't have big holes. Kevin really liked it.
and no picture of the mustard oil bread - it just looked too flat.
