I only slice sandwich bread. I need to do more experiments to get this the way I want it, but we have to eat this one first. I ground the flour last night, so it was fresh flour.

Bob, There is "tiny" room for improvement. Looks GREAT. Aria

I feel a little better this morning.

I am planning on baking something today to help me feel better. Just trying to figure out what to bake!

Well, I never thought I would see the day where I have to take my favorite hobby, fishing, and use it for survival.

According to my father, stores are running out of food. People are buying everything because of COVID19.

I talked to my mother, who does not like wild fish and game food, to see if I could catch some fish for food, and she said yes! WHAT A SURPRISE!

Looks like I got some fishing to do to help get food!

This is funny, Grandma cooked veg perfectly, soft with a bit of crunch and loaded with flavor, Mom bought into the kill your veg marketing... When I cooked for the family, and I did it a lot, I did it grandma's way. Mom would yell at me, but by golly she still ate them. Hmmm, even as a youngster, I knew to trust Grandma over the government.

Okay, back to bread. I'm calling this loaf a win, even though there are still things I need to improve upon. I think it was too stiff from the description on the KA site. I'm thinking too much bread flour. So next shot, I'm going to pull it out of the kitchen aid as soon as it forms a ball, oil not flour my counter and use the traditional stretch and fold method for kneading. I'm going to tent the bread at 15 rather than 20 minutes and I need to work on my tenting technique. That bread pan is HOT and foil is WAY to conductive... So game plan is to make the tent on three sides before it goes into the oven, then slide the tent over and seal. This will give me a lighter crust. My goal is to make bread from what I have in the pantry without needing to add special stuff. Here's the results, smells and tastes fantastic. Oh, and forgive the hole from my temp probe.
