I only bake bread once or twice a year, but I just saw this community pop up, and I wanted to share the loaf I made on Christmas eve. This is a Swedish rye bread. It is a bit sweet, oweing to the brown sugar and orange zest it contains. It is a recipe that goes back at least to my grandmother's recipe, in which it was entitled "Limpa". I love it, and have always had it at Christmas.
Flour, Graham flour, honey, oil, salt, yeast, oatmeal. Super simple.
Tried a bun recipe, and they turned out great! Can't wait to make some burgers or sloppy Joe's tomorrow! I followed this recipe to the letter.
Edit: s/bum/bun, but I guess they're kinda the same thing.
Read that if you heat the flour on medium in a skillet for 6 minutes before adding in the yeast and water it changes the flavor. Gave it a shot. Kept the rest of the recipe consistent so I can determine if there is an effect.
Happy with the scoring which is something I haven't been able to say for too long.
I accidentally ran out of whole grain flour, so I used a lot more white flour. In turn I could incorporate more water and get more rise out of it.
Just going to have a melodramatic sulk for a while and eat some toast.
Same as the other night. Double fat but also doubled the egg. I got involved with some stuff so it ended up proofing for 2.5 hours instead of 2, which might be the cause.
Doubled the butter. Had to increase the final proofing a bit and the dough felt dry. Next time I try doubling the fat will add a bit more water initially.
Happy with how it turned out and it smells like heaven. Can't wait for breakfast!
I bake one every Sunday. Same recipe every time, always a different result xD today's came out really good.
Tried butter for the fat this time. No noticeable difference.
Not perfect but I think there is value in posting failures. Might have been better with a butter wash
moved sugar to first ten minutes when the yeast sits as instructed on packaging. No detectable impact. Good thanksgiving loaf.
Not happy with the middle scoring but still yummy. Mixed poppy seeds into the dough as well.
Not a 100% proud of this one but still tasty.

Punch dough and kneed with flour until no longer sticky.

On cutting board with flour roll dough and layer until no longer sticky and shaped.

Score
Brush with olive oil and place in oven for 40 minutes
Note: every guide I found suggested scoring before washing with olive oil.
