Any Home Bakers Here?

I made another loaf today based on @ronott1 's french bread loaf, drizzled some oil in the bottom of my 14x6" baking pan before dumping the dough into the pan. I remembered the salt as I had it premixed in with the second round of dry ingredients after first doubling. I baked ar 425 until 190-200F per my bread thermometer. Now it is on the cooling rack shame my wife didn't push our lunch to 2PM so we could have it with fresh warm bread. Regardless the images are intended to show you what results to expect on the bottoms and sides with the carmelized crust.

I wish I could reuse it when I make cookies. I find it makes the bottom of the cookie brown too much if I use parchment twice. Have to change it out with each batch.

I reuse mine while baking cookies and they are fine. I let them cool in between.

Hi all

It was too chilly for yard work earlier so I decided to make bread for sandwiches this morning. To fill the time while it's rising I baked some buttermilk donuts with blueberries and ate one while it was still warm. Pretty good and not too sweet.

I weighed the dough before and after I divided so the loaves are more consistent in size. Still working on getting a consistent shape and I might leave the next batch to rise a little longer the second time.

Beautiful!

View attachment 1980825 First batch. Had to bake a sheet to see if these turned out. Used less maple syrup than recipe called for. Turned out fine. Good actually.

Pretty!

When I do that, the bottoms of my cookies turn brown. Most of the cookies I bake are not suppose to do that.
