I just can't seem to get the 'smooth elastic' look I remember my granny's bread having, without getting flour and dough all over myself and the kitchen. If we could have made the counters just a little shorter, then maybe it would be better; but oh well.
I made the oatmeal cheese bread again. I am pretty sure this will become our main bread, so hopefully I can eventually get it right.
The loaves rose over the sides of the bread pan and got on the bottom of the oven. After putting the bread in to bake, I found that I had not gotten all of the bread dough off the bottom.
Live and learn.
I'll put this post in draft until I can take a picture of the finished bread. Maybe. Ha!
Okay, update one. The house is smelling pretty good right now....
Update two. Doesn't look too bad.
Hubby said the crust was too hard. I put butter on it when it came out of the oven. Next time I'll try wrapping it in damp towels...
Probably when it fell and I had to kind of rework it in the pan, that didn't help.
It is still a lovely, blessed Sunday; even if it did warm up twenty degrees in four hours. Hope your Sunday is safe and blessed, too. ♥
Let Hubby bake the bread...kidding. The crust does tend to toughen and butter has always worked for me. Let me know about the towels.
ReplyDeleteI think it looks perfect. I can almost smell it.
It's all about the practice. Besides, you get to eat your mistakes!
ReplyDeleteTrue! And youngest son said the flavor made up for the hard crust, so there you go.
DeleteHave a good one!
Your loaves are beautiful, and I agree with the comment above mine about eating the mistakes, that's the best part, and you get to try again!! :-)
