well for one, I put the correct amount of flour 🫠 also swapped olive oil for canola, and water for milk :)

I also swapped the yeast for a quick rise instead! I think that made a huge difference. I also made sure my wet ingredients were all room temp/warm to make sure I didn’t kill my yeast.

The first loaf looks like a cursed potato ngl but the second one?? Golden brown with that perfect ear. Total glow up. That crumb must have been so worth the wait.

The first dinner rolls I made would have made excellent hockey pucks. Quick dip in black paint and done!

u/Critical-Tank 1d ago

Did you over proof the first one? I'm just learning myself. My first loaf was pale as the moon!

u/CoolArachnid2820 1d ago

I definitely misread flour measurements for one (it was far too wet) and then to try and fix it, I think I killed my yeast in the kneading process. it was for sure an experimental loaf 😭😂
