Any Home Bakers Here?

Here are my, fresh from the oven, KAF Sourdough Buns. I made them with half AP flour and whole wheat. I scored 3 bags of whole wheat today from Kroger! I put one of everything they showed as having in my basket and got everything but KAF But, that's okay, I'll make use of what I got until my KA order gets here.View attachment 2115044

Well Rounded Nice looking Buns. PERFECT. Aria

I'm a Baker.
Finally mastered my sour dough this winter.
Seemed like every time I made sour dough bread it was always different!
But I Finally created a recipe that comes out great and I do it in a loaf pan.
Great sour taste and great shape for sandwiches and toast.
Don't have the recipe written down. I do it all by feal of the dough. And I let it rise in the loaf pan then punch it down in the same pan and rise again till it's just over the pan.

Welcome to the bakers thread Colleen.

I think that looks pretty darn successful Aria!

I will brush butter on my sourdough after baking do it with all my breads we prefer it soft

Me too.

Well you told me to make crumpets so there’s the dadgum crumpets! It was a great suggestion! Fun and so easy! And of course the sourdough wasn’t wasted. I tried one of the round ones and it did have a sour tang but a little undercooked. I reckon tomorrow morning we’ll throw them in the toaster. I was thinking more of English muffin and they said no we’re more pancake!

Yup, more pancake, I love the shapes!

Those look GREAT!

Good job, they look great!

Thank you very much. As much as I like to bake a nice round loaf in a clay pot, it's too tempting to slice into it while it's still warm enough to melt butter. According to KAF, that's a no no. But, I'm mostly only baking for myself, especially under the current circumstances, so I find using the hamburger bun pan gives me 6 small "loaves" that are easy to freeze/use individually for whatever the occasion calls for. Less wasteful, less temptation to overeat, and I can cut into one while it's still warm enough to melt butter guilt free!

Thank you very much. Took me longer to figure out how to post the picture than to bake the buns.

Thanks. Simple no fuss recipe that takes very little time and not a lot of flour.

Some sourdough bakers will feed the crumpets to the Dog but I would have some home made yogurt and maple syrup on them!

Toasting them is a good way to go. They also freeze well

I might catch some grief over this, but here goes. On occasion, when I already have a surplus of bread to eat, I just pour the discard, as is, into my cast iron skillet, making a large "flat bread" and feed it to the chickens. They love it! It's much too sour for eating that way for me, but the girls fight over every little crumb. At least that way I don't feel I'm wasting it. Oh, and my dogs will eat it that way too, but they prefer the crumpets
