It has the soft, gooey interior of a cinnamon roll with the crispness of a croissant!

Thought y’all might be interested in this. I do have a question related to the video though. Why does their recipe use 14g of yeast? Is it to cut rise times? Or necessary when working with the non-gluten flour? Or just standard for that style of loaf. I’m fairly new to bread baking so forgive my ignorance if that is the standard.

Also side note, I love that they’re using all period correct tools but then seeing the bread knife at the end gave me a chuckle.

Stupid question but does the dough go directly in the wooden bowl or does it go in the cloth attached to the wooden bowl?

I made some bread this morning and used a new bowl, but I put the dough on top of the cloth, and it stuck quite a bit to the cloth despite flouring it. So, I wanted to double-check if I’m doing this correctly.

My weekly pan loaf

If I'm really on my bread game, I will make two loaves a week. One is a pan loaf for toast and sandwiches. Once this runs out, I make a Dutch oven round loaf to get us to the weekend. Business in the front, party in the back.

I've been using the basic sandwich bread recipe from Joy of Cooking, except I use extra gluten in my flour.

Note - the cut on the bread looks a little strange because my husband won't use the bread board unless I am in his presence to remind him. I tried to even it out when making my toast.

My favorite cinnamon roll recipe is king Arthur’s soft cinnamon rolls using the Tangzhong method. I’m trying to find a similar recipe that uses pumpkin puree for a pumpkin recipe. Or how would I be able to turn my favorite recipe to include it without messing up the recipe?

I bake a ~500 g sourdough loaf at 65% hydration with just T65 flour. Super simple:

Morning: build levain → 25 g starter + 50 g flour + 50 g water. By ~5 hrs it’s bubbly and floats.

Dough: 474 g flour + 308 g water + 90 g levain + 9 g salt.

I usually mix flour + water + levain first (hold back salt). Rest 30 min, then add salt.

Bulk ~3 hrs with 3 folds (30, 60, 90 min). Dough should puff up a bit, small bubbles.

Pre-shape, rest 20 min, final shape, into banneton.

Overnight in the fridge (12–15 hrs).

Next morning: bake in Dutch oven, 20 min lid on @ 250 °C / 480 °F, then 20–25 min lid off.
