Bread Thread!

[Josh Hughes]

So I’ve kept the sourdough going since late March. What I’ve done most is sourdough pancakes on the weekend. I did add a good amount to a quick blueberry bread that only required water. I’m enjoying the results with the pancakes and the blueberry bread.

It doesn't like it has anything to do with bread, but my daughter is doing the stretch and fold while I wait for to return to the crib game...

This looks more like bread...

Love playing cribbage
Have a few antiques boards and some modern ones as well
That looks like a nice one
I saw a cool one that was a carved snake
It was to expensive though

I've been doing more and more of my sourdough in loaf pans (cast iron). It makes it easier to have 'normal' sized bread for Bob's toast in the morning. He used to hack all the sides of the boules off because he liked the heel so he made like 6 heels of bread. So far, he's liking the loaves.

I did use everything bagel seasoning on a couple of them, and he liked that a lot.

Six heels per slice sounds pretty good, but too much for one breakfast.

I took my nornal sandwich bread recipe and just made 4 of these, good crust

I have been using my pizza oven (uuni/ooni) to make sourdough bread (variations).

Shit, I forgot about this one. I could have posted banana bread pictures last week

I have a lot to learn. This didn't blister like I wanted, but it tasted good when I tried it. I did anticipate smoking up the whole house doing this.
I'm going to make an Indian style Curry beef for dinner, and I thought I would try to make Naan for it with a shitty frying pan that I don't care about.

 

[Sandy Feet]

Now that I think about it, I wonder if the Naan is something similar to what they do in Zambi's neck of the woods.

I make sourdough naan (and tortillas and flat bread). You want a really hot pan but not hot enough to burn it. I use a dry cast iron comal but I have also used a dry cast iron pan. As long as it tastes good, though, that's all that matters.

I'm doing a loaf today in a cast iron loaf pan (with a cast iron lid) and 6 rolls.

 

[Sandy Feet]

I don't have a cast iron pan, and I didn't want to F up my expensive non-stick pan, so I used my really crappy pan. It did taste good. For my first attempt, I was very happy. I found an Indian ground beef curry recipe online that I have made a few times, and that I like. I compare it to a Sloppy Joe, but with Indian spices, Naan instead of rolls, and without cheese.
In the directions for the bread, they did say to smoke the pan a little. In that crappy pan, it meant smoking most of the house though LOL.
My wife hated curry. She was a wonderful lady, and I miss her, but I have been learning to cook my own recipes. Because I couldn't do it at home when she was alive, I do crave a curry recipe hear and there. When I was in London in June, I ate Indian dishes a few times. We can get Vietnamese in Orlando, but I don't trust the Chinese and Indian places here.

So that’s a pile of non-bread?

No, they are not really bread eaters here.
And the bread that is eaten, is supermarket white factory bread.
The Afrikaners make " braai brootjies*".
Standard yeast dough, but cooked on the grill.

I make naan bread occasionally. Either very hot pan, or in the uuni pizza oven or on the charcoal grill

* Not sure about the spelling...

It is bread LOL. Just made a little differently.

Just out of curiosity, how much different is the braai brootjies from a naan? The naan likes a shit load of heat like you would get on the grill and has a very simple recipe. I think the only weird thing I was told to do is put extra instant yeast in it. I'm having fun finding simple things that taste good.
