Who Is Baking?
I've been baking a lot while working from home. I posted a video today on how to make ciabatta during your pomodoro breaks. Check it out!
I mentioned in your other post that I made bread earlier today. It's cooling off now. https://imgur.com/gallery/E0xaCys
I think if I got the camera angle and lighting right, I could totally make an Instagram shot of it. Funny how there's always that ONE part that wants to stick out.
I make sourdough breads. I highly recommend Mick Hartley's recipes and ebooks at https://thepartisanbaker.com/
His approach really appeals to me, and to other hacker-y types that I've shared it with. He's tested a lot of the various steps that people recommend during baking, and documented which of them actually seem to make a difference.
I baked some pandesal and some gluten free, egg free carrot cake. Still trying to perfect the pandesal. I skipped the second rise on first try. It came out too dense.
I will make some banana bread today. I usually make it every two weeks.
Great work! happy to hear that also other people bake! I started baking croissants, and I couldn't believe that I could get such good results at home. Next challenge is bread and then homemade pasta!
If you take 10 min tonight to make the starter (poolish), you'll be good to go to make the main dough in the morning!
