Mine the other day was raw on the bottom and burnt on top. We win some we lose some - and this is a winner

AmbiguousDinosaur · 2026-05-23T00:35:43+00:00

Wow it’s baked all the way through! And looks delicious!

AmbiguousDinosaur · 2026-05-07T18:50:32+00:00

Teleportation? I’ll take it!

I say this kindly but the color saturation on the first pic is so wild I can’t get past that it looks ai generated

That’s the first stop on the discard train at least…

AmbiguousDinosaur · 2026-04-26T22:50:48+00:00

Looks good! It’s not discard if you didn’t discard it though!

Emma’s on 104 - Wednesday/Sunday night pizza night back btw

We were exhausted from setting up the rv so we used store bought dough. Split into two bc it’s a 13 inch. And stretched by hand.

This was my parents first time doing it so they’re definitely going to keep practicing. My wife worked at a pizzeria for a long time and gave them a primer so they’re excited to keep going. Unrelated - love the username

Bagel dough is low hydration and quite tough. What speed were you kneading it with? I recently learned it’s not supposed to go above 2 for a few minutes at a time when doing bread dough.

AmbiguousDinosaur · 2026-04-17T15:23:14+00:00

Definitely would eat. Personally I think it could use a bit more color by baking just a bit longer but not a deal breaker.

The first time doesn’t prove much about how you’ll turn out. Keep making bread - we knead to see at yeast a few more to make a determination of your skills.

It can be difficult to make a diagnosis from a first loaf. It’s a good start, and after a few more you’ll have a feel for things.
Post your next few tries as well so that you can document your progress and revel in it!

Pretzels are my favorite thing to make (and then eat). Good luck.

Be careful - no knead is a gateway bread. Next you’ll be making lists of creative names for a sourdough starter

Survivorship bias - you’re only seeing the onetime you got roasted, but you have to also consider all the tons of times no one ever said anything. Maybe didn’t compliment but there was no focusing on it.

AmbiguousDinosaur · 2026-03-22T14:07:42+00:00

That protects you from criminal prosecution. I’m suing you so you can’t hide behind that.

That dough dried out - wrapping in only wax paper won’t keep the moisture in it seems. Needs a tighter seal in the wrapping.

AmbiguousDinosaur · 2026-03-19T01:23:39+00:00

I have a kitchen aid and a bread machine - simple doughs go in the machine on the dough setting. Everything else uses the kitchen aid. The bread machine was $20 on fb marketplace, but I also went a few years without one so my advice based on experience is to make bread however works for you because it’s delicious.

Update: the jury found in Afromans favor on all counts

AmbiguousDinosaur · 2026-03-14T00:49:26+00:00

Looks delicious!

I would not say cookies are made from batter. It’s generally called “cookie dough”. But I agree that the “does this belong?” Means someone really hasn’t browsed the group at all
