Quite happy

2 rolls and a baguette, nicely risen. The cut on one roll was too shallow, the others are nicely dramatic.

a baguette with dramatic ears lies diagonally on a cooling rack, a bread roll on either side.

Yesterdays rolls

4 traditional German rolls sitting on the cooling rack

Got tired of round rolls, so made these instead

Much better

Last weeks rolls made me wonder, but my dough still got it. Yeah.

Should have reduced the temperature a bit earlier, so the ears are slightly dark.

4 freshly baked crusty rolls with nice ears, slightly to dark

2 more twisted baguette

Look very good, but I put one too close to the ovens ventilator. It got fairly dark at the tips, just this side of burnt.

Again additional cracks. But very happy with the result.

Dinner sorted.

2 twisted baguette

They’ve developed additional cracks, apparently I did not twist tightly enough.

Mixed haul

My usual dough with an old dough starter. This time three bread rolls and one Wurzenbrot (twisted baguette)

Three round, golden brown, crusty bread rolls and one golden brown twisted baguette, all dusted with flour, all baked until fairly dark, resting on the cooling rack.

Oh, the shame

The rise is fairly /unspectacular/.

What did I do differently:

  • took the starter (old dough) out of the fridge a day early
  • pre-heated the oven and hour longer

Mhm.

6 bread rolls, relatively smooth on top as the rise was not pronounced, otherwise ok

Back to basics

6 crusty bread rolls with „erupted“ tops, dusted with flour on top, a dark reddish brown towards the bottom, cooling on the rack.

Went back to my basic recipe. Still got it ;-)

Larger rolls, softer crumb

I added olive oil to my dough to get a softer crumb. Also I tried to go for longer rolls (normal in .de) but did not give the rolls enough support while proofing.

I should have cut them, they did not rip open as my normal rolls.

formed dough on the baker’s linen, forgot to give them support with folds

4 rolls in the oven, more a panini form, less bread roll

4 rolls on the cooling rack. Intentionally less browning, more panini then roll

Taste and texture are good though. Not what I wanted, but tasty.

Rolls again, doesn’t it get boring?

In a word, no. The pictures show more consistency than is really there.

Back to cold fermenting, otherwise recipe unchanged, 4 instead of 6 rolls.

A little dark maybe.
