PRippley Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Agreed tiny, my only change would be not many can bake like MacKenzie! Good effort though Jon, I would eat your bread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjs Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 I think it looks pretty darn good. I agree MacKenzie sets the bar high and is the standard on the forum for baking and food photography. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 kjs, thanks. I feel like I'm in a field with a whole group of inspirational KK cooks and I'm liking it a lot, it is great fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Hey, don't diss the bread machine! I owned one for several years and made some damn yummy bread in it. My 2 favs were blueberry and a pecan/red onion. Dump everything in the night before, program the machine, wake up to fresh baked bread!

PRippley Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 I have an old one inherited from my mom. I use it for the kneading part (not a good enough baker to invest in a kitchen aid) for me it helps make it quicker and easier so I can bake more loaves, goodness knows I need the practice. I pull the dough ball out of the machine after several minutes and plop it into my parchment paper lined CI pan for the rise and bake. I am close to baking my next loaf on Saphira! Thanks to ckreef and MacK for your contributions to my technique! PJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
