Hello, bakers! I lost this thread for a while and haven't been baking. Had to get a new stove, the old one died. New one has (drum roll, please!) BREAD PROOFING SETTING! So I made bread today. It came out GREAT, I'm so happy with it. Three of the loaves overproofed a bit. I forgot it takes 10-15 minutes to preheat the oven, so I should have stopped the proofing process sooner. I'll remember that next time!

But for taste and texture, this is the best yeast bread I've made since coming to Missouri!

I baked Betsy Bread. (recipe in index),, And as common for me,, I like to experiment. I doubled the recipe quantity, and made 3 small loaves.
Things I did differently,,,, I dusted the buttered pan with Farina. ( My usual dusting for bottom is cornmeal) Once breads finished second rise, and were ready for oven,, I sprayed tops generously with Butter from spray can. (my usual treatment for tops is egg wash)
I baked uncovered in bread pans,, @350°F for 30 minutes. The tops looked nice and browned,, so I took thermometer, and internal temp was 205°F
End of story,,,,,,, of course not,, waited 10 minutes,, and sliced

They are lovely..I bake bread myself. I don't buy it. It's cheaper to make a good loaf then buy a somewhat good loaf. I'm so envious you have a proofing feature..lol
