It's like a giant croissant :O
We do not speak out loud the word of the...
CROISSIANT
What was the taste and texture like
I panicked and cut the bake short when I saw it touching the glass. I forgot the salt which Iโve read helps restrict the raise so I assume that was the issue.
The crust had started to form but the crumb was not quite raw. I tasted the crust anyway; it was bland I assume also because I forgot the salt but was still tasty with butter ๐
You'll have to try the recipe a few times to tweak it. First guess is maybe too much water, or you used the wrong kind of yeast
Looks like cotton candy. You definitely messed up the recipe. Maybe try a ready mix first to see how your machine performs before switching to your own recipes
Yup - I forgot the salt. It was the basic recipe that came with the machine other than that.
When you cut the top part off was it fine? I had something similar happen when I put a bit to much in. Was supposed to be 3 1/4 max in mine and I used a 3 3/4 cup recipe. Everything that fit the pan looked find after I took the top off
I panicked when I saw it touching the glass and bailed on the bake. I forgot the salt which Iโve read helps limit the rise so I assume that was the problem.
Mine will just barely touch that glass and stick to it (even following the recipe) so I'll grease it a bit ahead of time for a nicer release when popping the lid.
Use the timer function to wake up to freshly baked bread; it's amazing
How did you get it so full ๐ฑ?
