The bakers' thread

They look ok, what were they supposed to be?

They were supposed to be a sourdough bread made with an oat soaker. I kind of got the proving wrong, hence the frisbees...

Well, more of a cross between a frisbee and a house brick, really. They'd have made a good door stop.

Ah. What about soaking in soup?

Even that would've been a tad optimistic. Besides, it didn't taste very nice either...

My sister makes the best banana bread. I tried to replicate it tonight. I won't be doing it again.

No bananas

No bananas

Umm, well.... yeah...

That would be problematic.

Another contribution from me .. yesterday's turmeric bread ('pain au curcuma').

Over the weekend our boy asked about seeded bread, which we don't buy or bake very often.

I got so seeds from the shop (pumpkin, sunflower and poppy) to add to the rolls I usually make. When I was gathering the ingredients I found some ground walnuts, and thought I would add some of that too, taking inspiration from @bluenotebob's mention of chestnut flour.

They came out good, but didn't raise as much as usual, I think the yeast may be too old. Son really liked them, which is a triumph on its own as there aren't many things he will eat willingly.

Well, how about these...

Even a friend's chooks didn't want to eat them...

They'd make nice bread boards...

And a very fine lunch it looks, sir.

Swap the beer for a couple of and that'd do very nicely.

What cheese, btw?
