My recipe actually doesn’t call for proofing the yeast, but after my prior attempt I decided to give it a shot to see if it would provide better results. Now I’m tempted to try it exactly as the recipe states again but proof it in the oven instead of on the countertop.

I’ve been reading that active dry yeast requires more, as you’re more likely to have dead granules. I only added the yeast to warmed milk (no water in the recipe) but didn’t add sugar to it, maybe that’s part of it.

That looks good! Now that I think about it, I think Babish mentioned folding the ends under. I might try that next time, thanks for the reminder!

I think I also need to use more yeast/proof longer. The recipe calls for instant yeast, but I can only find active dry nearby. I used 3tsp (recipe calls for 2 1/2) but I’m thinking I should’ve used 4 instead.

I haven’t heard the term Easter bread before but looking around it would seem that it is!

Dense but mostly alright. Definitely could’ve used a hint of vanilla

I’ll keep that in mind, thanks!

Very true! It was a bit colder in the kitchen and I kinda impatient lol. I’m sure it still would’ve risen more if I had waited another 30-40 min.

Sadly I didn’t think to take one right after, but here is a shot after a few slices! It’s pretty dense, which is from the yeast not being active I’m sure

I honestly really enjoyed the movie.

I still want a remaster of the Generals series

Oh we finally have a way to sync Actual in North America? Might actually start running it again

I’ll check it out, thanks!

Thanks! On another note, are all sourdoughs super tangy? Not sure if it’s just the mass produced baguette I had (was white and spongy, don’t remember the brand).

Yeah that’s fair. I should’ve been more clear that I’m not looking for perfect, just something that won’t discourage me from trying again. Thanks for the advice!

There’s also an NFSv4 driver which is great when you’re running TrueNAS

I love just walking through garbage during a thunder storm. No other game like it
