Does anyone have experience with one of these silicone break makers? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007F6EN96/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 I am intrigued. I usually just use my bread machine because it is easy, but would like to branch out in types of bread. I do have a cast iron dutch oven, but this thing looks nice and simple.
I picked up one of these. First attempt was the other day with a no-knead rye, mostly just due to time constraints for dinner. The crumb turned out great, it was less than pretty, though, but that is probably user error on my end and not using the best recipe. Today is a whole wheat no knead, I am working my way through a bread baking book starting with this one but DH requested a course whole wheat bread. So far, at first rise it is looking lovely. The convenience of using one tool from mixing through baking is nice. The crust on the last one turned out great which is a huge improvement already over the bread machine.
That's wild! I just ordered one but haven't received it yet. I needed something nonmetal to bake in. The bread pictures on Amazon look really nice. How did your whole wheat bread turn out?
I did just mix up my first ever sourdough starter today so we shall see how that works out.
oooh! welcome!I have not been baking lately. But, I am limping my starter along for the day I'll return to baking.
Nice! Tell us about the results. What recipe are you using?
Yep, I always make one loaf at a time. Which we have no problem eating with a day or two. It's so good, it just magically disappears.
I figured I would follow the directions as written the first go around and run the extra down the road to my sister as long as it is edible.
The next bread DH wants is a Scottish bap which we have been missing dearly since we moved back to the states. https://www.food.com/recipe/scottish-baps-soft-morning-bread-rolls-302697 This new hobby of mine is not helping my eating healthy goals.
