Cool would love a photo when done

Ok! Even if it fails? Lol with all the pretty loaves yinz makes I suppose it’s refreshing to see ugly ones for perspective!

As long as it tastes good, looks don’t matter. Unless you’re trying to impress someone special, don’t worry about it.

The first thing I used the air fryer for. The doughnuts are okay, but I’ll use them as burger buns. I can smother them in sugary frosting or dip them in melted butter, and dust them with cinnamon sugar, but I may as well deep fry them if I’m doing that.

I used whole wheat in place of the spelt and rye. It was fun to weigh all the ingredients! Yeah I don’t get out much,
Thank you Ron for the tip! I’ve noticed that adding whole wheat to a recipe makes it drier. Fwiw it was also fun to do the folds! It was helpful to see what the dough looked like from the video. Mine may not look quite as silky but I did notice the different feel this recipe has compared to my other tries.

Folding is fun for sure!

I like the entire process of making bread that way

They look like they need some jelly filling

I do too! And you know, there wasn’t a pile of measuring cups, spoons, mixer attachments etc to clean up!

Usually just a spoon. It is a lot easier to clean up for sure

Here is my first attempt at Champlain bread. Instructions from the Benetton basket says it takes a couple two or three bakes till the basket is seasoned. It came out pretty deformed but puffed up better than any I’ve done so far. Still couldn’t slash worth a tinker’s dam , Brand new lame with brand new blade.

Nice looking bread!

Get some white rice flour for the basket. Before slashing, sprinkle some of it onto the top of the bread.

It will stop the gluten in the flour from sticking
