Getting back into the swing of things

Today I started baking bread again. It has been quite some time since I baked, I had a few disasters and gave up. I have been buying a fresh loaf every morning from the local bakery. After spending some time with a friend of mine who bakes bread I was inspired.

I researched some new recipes and today gave it a go. I decided to have an experiment and bake one loaf in the bread maker and one in the oven. Well I can tell you the oven version was far superior and the crust was spectacular! I am not sure why but the bread maker version never seems to get that beautiful brown crust and is often a little doughy inside.

I must admit I did cheat with the oven version, by mixing, kneading and rising in the bread maker before baking in the oven.



I am planning to start a sour dough mother tomorrow, and next weekend I will have another experiment using the pizza oven.
