I bake with whole wheat/spelt/rye , so the color is ok yes, it is hard to sometimes delegate something if the people doing it don’t know what they are doing

Sometimes I don't know what I am doing. Last time I tried making bread the breadmaker dish was leaking . I have a extra breadmaker but I love the one that broke.

I have made some really odd looking bread.
Lately I have gotten tired of the bread I make and finding some of the recipes on here for bread is nice so I can try something new. I usually mix it all in a breadmaker because I have no idea how to knead bread. But I usually put love in there as well. Maybe that is what is missing

I started learning yeast breads last year. I am so happy I did! I bought a book called "The Bread Baker's Apprentice". It taught me so much and has so many amazing recipes and it's won a couple awards. I highly recommend it. Written by Reinhart I think. I was able to learn to make up my own recipes in no time!

Consider baking Betsy bread.
SallyPB posted the original version of that recipe. Here it is.

Did just a little baking, No recipe,,, because the biscuits are from Pillsbury tube. The gravy is from a packet mix. BTW my first time making it. And the sausage is Italian Sausage from the grill. cut up into pieces.

I cut the biscuits into smaller pieces.

Final after I spooned the gravy on top.

Notes;
Next time, I intend to brown some breakfast sausage in a skillet. Then cook the gravy together with my cooked breakfast sausage.

Made the Rhubarb Meringue Dessert.
Recipe from Betty Crocker. Maiden voyage on this one for me,,, so I followed things exactly.

This is step 1, for the crust portion.

I pressed into my pan. I don't have a 9 x 9 pan, so I used my 7 x 12 pan instead, Approximate equivalent surface area. I used a spoon to press into place.

This is out of oven after 10 minute pre-bake. I poured the rhubarb mixture into pan, and baked for 45 minutes.

As the baking is still going in oven, I start making the meringue topping.

This is how my Meringue looks before being added to top of rhubarb dessert.
It is actually quite pure white,, just the lighting for the picture made it look slightly less white.

Out of oven, and ready to be topped with the Meringue topping.

Out of oven done.

Had to wait until cooled, before removing first 2 squares.
View attachment 3534790
Turned out delicious.
I refrigerated the remaining dessert.

Notes.
This is a dessert, rather than a cake. There is not much flour in the rhubarb portion. There is also no baking powder, or yeast to create rise.
This is also my first try making a meringue topping. I am satisfied with the results
I am already considering another recipe for my next batch of rhubarb. That one is a cake, with rise. When I do bake it, I will compare the 2

Oh man I’ll bet that was good!!!

It sure was delish. If you run across a quantity of rhubarb,,, give it a test-drive.

Sometimes I don't know what I am doing. Last time I tried making bread the breadmaker dish was leaking . I have a extra breadmaker but I love the one that broke.

my pan began leaking as well, and I looked up the problem on YouTube. I can’t remember now if I ever fixed it, but I’m pretty sure that just getting a new screw (or is it just a nut? Whatever holds the beater in) is all it took.
