After my neighbor helped me hook up my new TV, I decided to thank him with some fresh baked bread. Good thing I made two loaves.
The damage
- Stand mixer dough hook and bowl
- Baking sheet
- Cup measure
- Teaspoon measure
- Cutting board and bread knife
- Flour
- Salt
- Yeast
- Water
Lessons learned
- Any seams in the bread -- faults along which the dough isn't really sealed to itself after kneading-- will crack open in the oven. Knead thoroughly.
- Mine baked for a good 15 minutes longer than the recipe indicates.
- I could see brush strokes where I painted on the egg wash. Not hot.
But I'm not scared. If taste counts, this bread baking adventure was a resounding success.
