Show Us What You're BAKING

I had already started another batch of 50/50 whole wheat bread as a contingency plan in case yesterday’s loaves didn’t pan out. Really chuffed with these.

[SheilaAnn]

jhapka if chuffed means you nailed it, I agree!

[Thunder77]

Can you express mail me some of that??👍

One from the morning, more to go.

[Thunder77]

Dude you should sell some of the photos of your bread to magazines!! You sir, are an artist in more ways than one! My hat is off to you. 😎

[Porkies]

Your bakes always make me hungry!

[Richard Chrz]

Thank you.

[Thunder77]

A partial success. I was away for work for 3 weeks,
so no baking! 😢 I was feeling a bit Forkish, so Harvest Bread with poolish. Everything worked out great until I went down the damn Facebook video rabbit hole, and missed my timer! The boule is a bit overdone, but the batard came out nicely. I have a really cool superstone baker for the batards.

I do believe that Forkish likes 'em dark like that.

Awesome, love that second photo.

[RonB]

Great job.

Cemitas, need to do a better job on shaping, but this is one damn sticky dough.

[CandySueQ]

I’m happy!

My sincere apologies for posting on this professional page but I was lured here by the word ‘baking’.

I rendered (baked sounds like too strong a word) some chocolate chip cookies today to take to our granddaughter tomorrow because she’s studying for an exam at Western Carolina U. It’s a 3 hour drive, one way, but nothing’s too far or good for our granddaughter. It’s actually near Nantahala, NC, which means Land of the Noonday Sun in Cherokee. The valley floor is shielded from the sun for the longest part of the day due to the mountains on the east and west sides.



Nantahala

If you love the outdoors with cold water rivers punctuated by class 2-4 rapids, pristine forests and solitude, this place will punch your ticket.

WayneT I am not sure, but I been taken by "water:taxi" to several trail heads and back packed/ fly fished. I have seen Unto These Hills, kayaked on the river, etc. I've also driven all over the area including The Dragon with my Miata car club .

[Jim White]

WayneT No, we haven't done the outdoor thing.

[WayneT]

Purc If Unto These Hills doesn’t make you tear up, then you’re not paying attention. Ah, yes, the fabled Tail of the Dragon or Testosterone Highway. I had an S2000 years ago but never got it on the TOTD. I left that to younger folks.

If you’ve never been to Lake Nantahala, which is higher in altitude than the River, make it a destination. Some of the most gorgeous scenery of the river along the way will reward you.

Few of the bakes from this morning, a few more to go, and tomorrow I get to bake a test loaf for myself, pretty excited about that bake.

[Clawbear57]

Good looking bread. Richard.

[RonB]

My regular loaf and roll bake.

[Clawbear57]

Perfection.

[mnavarre]

Burger buns.

[Richard Chrz]

3 of them stuck around long enough to get a photo.

[Elton's BBQ]

Amazing!

My first sourdough in six months or so because it's a) been too hot to turn the oven on, and b) I'm a dumbass and killed my starter. But now I've got a mother in the fridge and an active levain so I took a shot at something based off of Forkish's overnight country blonde. It over fermented & I needed to manage the bake better, since it didn't rise like it should have and the crumb was a bit gummy. I need to get more flour tomorrow and give this another shot. I also need to check my math because I think I shorted myself 25g of flour. The flavor is fantastic, though.





It made a fantastic grilled cheese, and it's going to make some awesome French toast in the morning.



I've done much, much better, but for a new starter and being badly out of practice, I ain't mad at it.
