i've made milk bread a few times, really good and makes good french toast.

I don't see the connection between this and the stoner culture. Am I missing something?

How’d I do?

>>12444787

Nice blistering.

thanks, nice loaves! I've been working on my sourdough, still fairly new to baking

>>12444864

Looks like it has some good oven spring and a decently open crumb. Thumbs up.

Do you have a better lit picture?

Do loaves like this require a dutch oven?
I always wanted to make sourdough, italian or even french bread but everytime I find a recipe, they say to use dutch ovens.

I make all of mine in one. just a cheap $20 chinese one, you don't have to shell out for staub or le crueset if you're just making bread. still works good for other things too.

Told my dad i baked bread and saw the most disappointing look on his face that i ever did saw. Bread was mehh too. Will i ever stop disappointing people?

Obviously the only option is to become a full fledged baker.

lodge combo cooker is cheap and great

Yes, the loaves need steam in order to rise evenly before the crust dries out enough to crack open. You could also steam your oven, but I don't think that does as good a job. Proffessional bakers use ovens with steam injection or full size brick ovens with air tight seals that trap all of the steam generated from a large batch of loaves. Look up a lodge combo cooker for something smaller if a dutch oven sounds like too much space. I think enamel works better too although that's not what I use.

Living the dream anon. Still want to be a baker for a year, once I graduate. Just to know what it's like.

That really depends on the bakery that you're at, I think. I just hired a new assistant baker and he said at his old bakery most of his shift consisted of just sitting around waiting. We have a really small space here and a lot of bread to make, but we have things streamlined in such a way that with some quick work we can do about 1,500 loaves in 10 hours.

Instantly reminded me of this.
