My kids love this bread!
ReplyDeleteHi Michelle,
ReplyDeleteIt's Sheila in Stillwater. Well, I found out what I was doing wrong (or not correctly!).
First, your directions included how to proof bread yeast. Since I had never done that before I tried it. The yeast I was using was fine. But that loaf still came out like a door stop.
Then I attended your last class on making sandwich bread and I decided to buy new ingredients and start fresh. Since I needed more yeast I bought the yeast you used in class. I even bought bottled water! I did everything you did in the same order, the same brands of flour- everything. I made my first perfect loaf of bread. But this time I used a regular 2 LB. loaf pan.
The other difference was I used parchement paper to build up the sides of the pan. Fabulous!
I realize now the yeast I was using was the classic Fleishman's bread yeast used for a twice risen wheat loaf. The yeast I bought at Tailor Made is instant yeast and it made all the difference. Also, the order in which I combined the ingredients (slowly adding wet to dry in the mixing bowl while the beater was slowly moving was the other major difference; very important.
Today's loaf is 3 parts millet, 1 part brown rice and 1 part sweet rice. I have a good feeling about this one.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for teaching your classes. I am getting my confidence back about baking.
See you at the next class,
Sheila Martin
