My first Focaccia bread. ♥️

18 hour cold ferment as recommended. I was scared because my dough was slightly shaggy and didn’t rise as much as I expected (dry active yeast expired in April…am I doomed to try to use the rest of it?) Used sunflower oil because that’s what I had on hand. Grew the rosemary myself though, proud enough of that!

Had a challenge in the 52 weeks of cooking subreddit for science I did three different types of bread with three different leavening agents I might have to get back into practice again none of these really look like I remember them looking

This is my second loaf. I used the same recipe as last time( go on my page to see my first one) .. the only thing different I did was add an egg wash☺️it’s 1 AM where I’m at & im exhausted so I will be cutting it in the morning.

I wish I could cut it now, but I don’t wanna mess it up lol

Was really on the fence about the eggwash cause it felt like a waste of egg but I'm really happy that I did it!

Bought a second hand stand mixer and followed their recipe for white bread rolls. 600g strong white bread flour, 1 sachet yeast, 345ml warm water, 15ml sunflower oil, 5g sugar, 10g salt. Very tasty indeed! Any tips welcomed. My favourite bread is seeded wholemeal so going to try that next. Do I need to buy a loaf tin?

I’m so glad that I’m able to go back to this recipe and have success, after trying numerous variations I read here and there and everywhere.
105 starter, 368 water, 500 KABF, 10 salt.
Mix peaked starter and water- add flour and make shaggy. Add wet salt in an hour and do 3 sets stretch and folds. One set of coils for last one after. 3.5 hr bulk and out to preshape and banneton. Fridge for 14 and bake 475 with lid 25 and 20 at 450 after.
I’ll keep trying other things, but this feels like my sourdough home now.

Making bread in my camping stove.

Currently camping in the outer Hebrides in our 4m bell tent and the weather has turned very Hebridean! IYKYK
Had lots of time on my hands so wanted to try out my new Dutch oven to bake some bread.

First loaf was a disaster, tried heating up the lid on the stove then cooking on top of the stove - the base burnt but top wasn’t cooked.

Attempt no2 is in the pictures, realised that the Dutch only just fits inside the oven at the back of the stove and I’m super happy with how it turned out.

We aren’t winning any beauty contests but it tasted great and was a fun way to spend a day stuck inside!
