Woke up to the return of snow and cold temps this morning 😩
So I made the best of it by cooking up a batch of beef barley soup and for dessert, chocolate chip cookies 🍪
Made a not so good (weather) day, just a little bit better.

One recipe 🍞
Two loaf pans
Different results

Since I started baking bread I’ve been using the same (old) loaf pans. The kind I like to say are “good for multiple uses in the kitchen”.

But I’ve never been satisfied with the shape or rise of my bread using these pans.

Then I came across the Pullman Loaf Pan.

The Pullman Loaf Pan comes in various sizes and of course, various prices $$$

I choose a mid-priced, well rated, one pound loaf pan.

Now I’m FINALLY getting the results I’ve been wanting all along.
A taller loaf with squared sides and ends that make slicing easier and result in a better shape for sandwiches.

The taller loaf pictured is baked without the Pullman loaf lid, giving me a taller rise.

Or, I can use the flat top lid that comes with the pan, resulting in a flat top, completely squared-off loaf.

The taste is the same, but the saying “you eat with your eyes” is true, and if I had to choose, I would always go for the Pullman loaf pan shape.

My only disappointment - not buying TWO of these Pullman Loaf Pans!

Well here we are
December 2023 is coming to a close and I’m outside taking photos of green grass and moss on the rocks.
Not sure what this winter will bring, but I don’t think this weather is normal.

Some trees took a hit with the ice buildup.
And it’s still very early in the season.
Hoping we won’t have as much tree loss as last winter 😞 🌲

I’ve been struggling with baking bread lately 🤷🏻‍♀️
Not the act of baking bread, but the end results.

I’ve tried dissected what could be causing my bread to be blah 😑

Was it the recipe?
My ingredients?
Our tastebuds?

So I made a some changes.
First off, new recipe!


Second, proper bread flour.


Third - a thought that came to me in my sleep 🤔 Remove the bread/pizza stones from the oven 💡

So did these changes make a difference?

This new recipe was very friendly

The proper bread flour made all the difference ✅
I believe the flour I had been using was too hard. I could even feel the difference when kneading it 🍞

Removing the stones from my oven….
I believe the stones were deflecting the heat from baking the bread - and everything else properly.
🤬
The end results….
