Somewhat unsuccessful experimentation with some Rye bread.

[02ebz06]

What was unsuccessful about it. ?
I really like the KA Seeded Rye Sandwich Bread recipe.

[Bentley]

Kneading, hydration and proofing mostly!

I tried my hand at making apple, pecan, cinnamon bread it is very tasty, I also added raisins.

[Kristin Meredith]

That looks excellent hughver.  Is it a somewhat sweet bread like banana bread or more savory with just the bits of fruit to sweeten?

[hughver]

It is not overly sweet, more like a spice bread with apples. There were two cups of finely diced apples in the mix plus unsweetened apple sauce.

2nd Attempt at Brioche buns was a little better.  Man do they have a lot of fat in them!  I would not have believed you could make a bread with only 1/4 cup water.  Off to make a smash burger and post in a different thread!

[Bar-B-Lew]

They look great

[Bentley]

How would a guy tighten up the crumb on a bread like this.  A little to airy for me.

[02ebz06]

The buns look pretty darn good.  Nice job!

[Darwin]

Reduce the hydration a bit would be my first step.  Then consider more kneading and amt of yeast. I think it looks good but we don’t get a feel for texture.

Those look outstanding.

The office where the GF works ws having chili day and she volunteered me to make the cornbread. Made 2 half pans of regular and 1 jalapeno.

The browner one was cooked in the counter top convection oven and the other 2 in my regular oven. Then brushed with some honey butter I threw together.

1.5C Corn Meal ( I used some ground at a local festival)
1.5C AP Flour
1/3C Sugar
1t salt
2t Baking Powder
1t Baking Soda
1.5C Buttermilk
2 Eggs
2-3T Olive Oil

The Jalapeno is as above with some Chipotle powder, 1 fair sized Jalepeno also some jarred jalapenos chopped,and a can of creamed corn.

The convection oven ran at 380 the regular oven at 400 for about 35 minutes.

It went over very well she said. I took it to her about 20 minutes after being pulled out of the oven so it was still hot.

Made up rolls for the day, they turned out pretty good.

this was a double batch of dough.

6 Cups Flour, I used 3 each AP and Bread flour.
3 Teaspoon Salt
2 cups of milk Used 2%
1 Tablespoon dry yeast
4 Tablespoons sugar
1 cup oil Used olive. I may cut that back some next time.

warmed the milk to around 110° added the sugar and yeast to bloom. then added the oil. mixed this into the flour and salt. mixed well then left sit for about 20 minutes before coming back to knead. covers and put in the gas oven with the pilot light heat for an hour. Took out and turned out on table and cut it up, the rolls 50 grams each give or take 5.  Back in the oven  for an hour, took out and turned oven on to 350 they took about 20 minutes and were 207 internal.  took a stick of butter and rubbed the tops when they came out. These were very soft, people seemed to really like them.

They are great looking dinner rolls!
