Bread bust

May 06, 2011 01:26

Still working on the silly little loaf.  I've actually gained a lot of confidence after a couple HUGE failures...  I'm still struggling quite a bit with surface tension and shaping (which go hand in hand) of the high hydration loafs.  I think so much of it really really is practice.  I can't think of anything major that I did differently... Just repetition.  I did start substituting flours... bread flour, corn meal, whole wheat flour....  I really like organic corn meal in the french loaf.  It really makes a moist crumb with a slight yellow hue.

Bread failure:  Whoops on the bubbles!  Dried it and it made really good bread crumbs, with which I breaded and baked zucchini.  yum!
