Fresh Bread for breakfast and lunches, Hally's High Bread

[judydawn]

A bread named after you Hally - how impressive is that

For your info a link about additives to bread especially vit C and /or ascorbic acid

I am a real bread follower, and just love experimenting.

No one answered when I asked if they'd done this bread without an improver so I guessed not?

Off to make some brioche next.....

Sorry DJ - I have made it without improver once, a bit hard to compare because I didn't let it rise long enough as was pushed for time. It wasn't as high but that might have been the shorter rise. Afraid I can't remember if it stayed fresh for as long.

DJ,  this loaf is based on my basic recipe and I don't use added improver.

Made my first loaf of this today.  Looks nice but not sure about the texture.  Mind you I was eating it hot.  I'll reassess when it cools down.

I agree MJ, I make this a couple of times a week now, so easy. I mill 100g of whole wheat first to make a whole meal version. I call it "happy Hally bread"!

Deedub, love it thank you

I made a loaf of this yesterday and it was delicious, but crumbled when I cut it. The slices kind of ripped in half as I was slicing.

Does anyone have any suggestions where I may have gone wrong?

Once this cooled down, had some more my verdict, yummy

DH's verdict - yeah it's ok.  (That translates to its good). He doesn't like to admit bread baked at home can be nice

sometimes it may need a tiny bit extra water.i find the change of season i need to  adjust the water/whey/cream/yogurt

We loved this bread. Next time I'll make it wholemeal though. I love how it's a 'normal' size that you can make a sandwich with mmmm!

Here it is. Looks good. 26 mins in oven in tin, plus 2 mins out of tin



About 10.5 cm tall.
I added some vit c powder as improver.
