Did you know that #Germans have a LOT of #superstitions about #bread?

In the olden days, when bread was baked at home, bad luck would seep into the bread when one cursed while baking.

And if the loaf would be placed over the table's edge, sickness would soon enter the house.

A loaf placed upside down would sway, because the poor souls would try to turn it, & if the head of the house cut the bread crookedly, then he had just lied...

Got back into making my own bread. Pretty easy, bread tastes better than anything at the store, and it makes the whole house smell great!

I make bread but am terrible at cutting it; all my slices end up wonky.

I suspected that if you cool it in the fridge first, it's waaaaaaay easier to cut and manage. πŸ˜„

And it works! Nice!

Experiment loaf!

I made this like you’d make croissant dough, but instead of butter, I made a praline mix and used that. Then let it proof as a loaf and baked as normal.

Smells fantastic.

No discernible difference in texture. Tasty, but the cheese is not noticeable. Should have used more. # #

New # just out the oven. Nutmeg, date and Grana Padano cheese, for something different.

I managed to forget to turn the oven down (usually pre-heat to 220Β°C then turn down to 185Β°C after the initial steam blast for 44mins), so this one baked for 22mins at 220Β°C and 9 mins at 180Β°C. When it cools, I’ll see how that changed (or didn’t) the texture.

New # just out of the oven. I made the dough yesterday but ran out of time to bake it, so it spent overnight in the fridge. This should in turn improve the flavour from the show ferment.

Baking with perennial (reduces resource needs and sequesters carbon) wheat Kernza Flour was on my list of things to try, especially after seeing how good this bread turned out. Ever experiment with it @SeamusBlackley? #yeastmasters #bread thefreshloaf.com/node/69607/ker…
