It may look like shit. It may even taste like shit. But this is my first time using a bread machine, or even baking bread for that matter.I got a free old school B&D bread machine off FB and decided to give it a try.This is the recipe I used:1 1/8 Cups – Water (warm) – 267 milliliters – 1 1/8 cups is equivalent to 1 cup and 2 tablespoons2 Tablespoons – Unsalted Butter (softened) – 28 grams – If you prefer, you can substitute olive oil for the butter.1 1/2 Cups – Rye Flour – 180 grams1 1/2 Cups – Bread Flour – 180 grams2 Tablespoons – Molasses – 30 milliliters3 Tablespoons – Light Brown Sugar (packed) – 39 grams – If you prefer less sweet rye breads, cut the brown sugar in half.1 Tablespoon – Cocoa Powder Natural Unsweetened – 5 grams3/4 Teaspoon – Caraway Seeds – 2 grams (USED THEM)1 1/4 Teaspoons – Salt – 7.5 grams1 1/4 Teaspoons – Bread Machine Yeast (Instant Yeast) – 4.5 gramsI got corned beef, MTL smoked meat, swiss cheese, 100 island, sauerkraut, kosher pickles and some local babushka borscht and a 12 pack of condoms to spend the next day.
>>22067497looks good. but what do you buy with the condoms?
>>22067507It's actually done now! That's why the house smelled so good. I even tasted a little bit. It's dense, but not TOO dense. I'd like it a little fluffier next time. Any tips anons?
>>22067507The condoms are just for a party I'm having later. Not really relevant to the post, not sure why I talked about it.This is the top of the bread. As I said, I did taste test it, and it is great and malty especially with the molasses, and the caraway seeds are a perfect addition. Just a little bit more fluffier.But, I have a lot to learn. This is my first bread and I know I can learn a lot from you here :)
>>22067515would cram
>>22067527I'll have some leftover condoms for you. Turns out a 12 pack was a bit too ambitious.
>>22067519Looks dense as fuck, like my bread. Bad bread. I'm still trying to learn how to do it without fucking it up or using a stand mixer, but the stand mixer makes the initial steps much easier.
>>22067550No bucks for a stand mixer atm, this was a free FB pickup. I'll keep an eye out for cheap or free. There is lots of wealthy people around me and I'm a good looking young guy with blonde hair and blue eyes so they hook me up. I got preserves and pickled shit for years thanks to these MILFs.
>>22067550I did immediately wrap in bread bag to keep moisture in at least.
I just tested 'the bread' with some egg salad. Semi-thin slices, both sides buttered with amazing gras-fed salted real butter.Sandwich was great, especially the perfectly seasoned egg salad. Bread was about 28.9 too dense though.GODAMNIT!!!!I'll get it one day Anons.. one day.
>>22067583>op after taking bite of he sandwich and realizing bread 28.9 too dense
>>22067583Might need more water since the rye flour will absorb more if it was whole grain. I'd probably go up to about 300ml of water.
>>2206763628.9 is TOO DAMN HIGH!I did mean %, but I love you all anyways and you got me.
