Proofing Sandwich Bread |
I chose sandwich loaves for my first, completely scratch made bread on Monday. The recipe from my recent class yields 2-3 loaves, depending on size, and it was fun to watch the size of the dough increase for each proofing.
Finished Freeform Sandwich Bread Loaves |
When the dough was ready for shaping, I chose to go with a freeform, rather than doing the final rise in a pan. I think next time (think sandwich loaf), I'll put these into a pan for traditional, sandwich-shaped bread.
Handsome and I cut into it as soon as it was cool enough, and there were definite smiles-all-around. Success! We decided that Mondays will be bread making days at the farm from now on.
Bread making on Monday’s...great idea. Reminds me of those vintage towels with each day having a different chore. YUM to the warm fresh baked bread...with Amish Butter. <3
ReplyDeleteWhen we had our farm and I was home I used to make bread almost every week! It is such a rewarding feeling! Glad you had great success Donna! It looks yummy!!
ReplyDeleteYummy! I bet that was good just plain, with butter or jam or both!
