Any Home Bakers Here?

[Birdsonghill]

I have a porcelain Dutch oven that I bake sourdough bread in. It does a very good job!

I make sour dough seeded baguettes most of the time. I have a 3 loaf baguette pan so I made my recipe match that yield. I use them for sandwiches, bread pizzas, garlic toast, croutons and everything bread.

Hi y'all; I have a baking question. So, I made a batch of brownies tonight from my favorite recipe, but I got a stash of bantam eggs from a friend whose hens are laying more than she and her family can eat. I usually use two large brown eggs in this recipe, so I thought that three bantam eggs would about equal. The brownies apparently didn't think so, and came out much flatter and crumblier than normal. These are normally very fudgy, moist brownies. I don't think I changed anything else, other than cutting the fat down with canola oil, which I have done in previous batches just fine. Are there differences to take into account when baking with bantam eggs v.s, say, an Orpington egg? Here's the link to the recipe, for reference.

Let me answer your question,,, about the eggs,,, since I also have Banties, and they are producing well for me.
In general I use 3 bantam eggs where recipe call for 2 eggs. The catch comes when all bantam eggs are not created equal. My Serama eggs are smaller than the Japanese Bantams' eggs. Which are also smaller than the eggs my Game Hen Bantams lay.
Easiest way to get the correct value,,,, is to us a kitchen scale. Weigh 2 eggs,, usually recipes call for using LARGE EGGS. Then weigh out the same weight in bantam eggs you have on hand.
In Baking,,, usually slightly more or less should not be EXTREMELY critical. If anything ,, error on the slightly more.
As to your brownies,,, I was not there to judge your dough when you were about to bake it. You also mention that you did adjust the oil somewhat.
When I bake, bread, cake, or whatever else,, I always view and make my judgement on how my dough looks. Sometimes I hold off on amount of flour,,,,, and sometimes I add additional some.
Just make another batch of brownies, and see if they are different this time.

WISHING YOU BEST,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Hey! I haven't posted here in over a year (well more like I haven't posted in BYC in over a year) but I made this chocolate tart today and thought might share it here!

Couldn't find sea salt so just worked with the usual. It tastes really good! It's a bit heavy so you can only have little slices at a time but I like it!
