Anyone have a go-to dinner roll recipe they like? Thinking of making something fresh for Thanksgiving to bring along.

These are pretty great. If you put them all in a square or rectangle pan and let them all bake up against each other they are like the store bought brown and serve rolls. Just little squishy carb bombs that are perfect for this time of year. https://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/soft-white-dinner-rolls-recipe The dough is good for cinnamon rolls too

I committed to 3 separate Thanksgivings worth of dinner rolls and planned to use King Arthur’s sourdough version, but apparently NOBODY carries potato flour around here. Luckily that non-sourdough recipe Thumposaurus posted is basically the exact same but with instant potatoes instead. Didn’t know that was a viable alternative.

I'm making some dinner rolls as well for Thanksgiving. I made an initial batch today since I haven't made bread in a long time and I need the practice. I mixed the ingredients and kneaded the dough by hand for about 7 minutes. I left the dough in a greased bowl, covered it and let it rise for about 1 hr 20 min. However, it didn't really expand as much as I'd hoped it would. I think it's because my condo is quite cold, and I couldn't find a good, warm spot to let the dough expand. I can't really warm up the place either, since I would have to put the heater on ridiculously high and I don't really want to do that. Any tips for letting dough rise when you've got a cold house? Does it just take more time in a cold room? I also considered turning my oven on briefly, turning it off and letting the bowl sit in the oven, but that's not ideal. Edit: Here's the recipe I'm using, if it helps- https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/soft-buttermilk-dinner-rolls/

I've also briefly turned on the oven like you described, it worked fine. Bread question, when I form a loaf I tend to end up with a seam running along the bottom of the loaf and up inside it, which makes it want to split when I slice it. It feels like the act of forming a boule is conducive to that dough-butthole on the bottom, so what should I try to avoid it?

I boil some water in the microwave then pop the dough in with it. Keeps it warm and humid. I did a test run on my dinner rolls as well, pretty pleased with the result. I was going to bring them to a family get-together tonight but my wife convinced me we should keep them for lunches this week. “They’ll get them on Thursday!”

Hell Yeah posted:are you using a lot of flour when you shape? Probably this, but also how long from shaping to going into the oven? If the dough is still pretty moist any flour 'up in the butt' should just incorporate given a bit of time, maybe give your boules another 30-45 minutes before baking? With the Forkish method the bottom of the boule become the top anyway, so that natural seam just becomes an attractive organic split in the crust.

Just little squishy carb bombs that are perfect for this time of year. I made these over the weekend and they were just what I was looking for. A little denser than the super fluffy hawaiian rolls but still sweet and buttery. They did come out looking a little weird because I really struggled with portioning + shaping. After the first rise the dough was a little... tough? It just kind of held its shape and resisted rolling in to a ball from the hard edges that I cut when portioning. Probably give them another try tonight as I can't risk loving it up for Thanksgiving. I'd never live it down.

Not sure about your tough dough, but in case you didn't know a neat trick for portioning is simply rolling the bulk dough into a log and splitting in half, and then splitting those halves in half, and so on until you get the size/number of rolls you want. I just made the sourdough version of that recipe that still uses yeast. Was pretty good.

If it's tough to shape you need to let it relax a bit. I always portion everything first then go back and shape the first one. By the time you get back around to it they should all have had enough time to rest and relax. Otherwise cover them up with a clean towel for 5 mins or so and they should be easier to shape.

i have a very good SD starter right now. i made it from just king arthur whole wheat flour and ap flour and spring water. all white:  20% whole wheat:  the whole wheat really surprised me, i often can't even get a result like that with yeast.

i'm not sure what theirs is but it's probably similar. i just used 100g of the red whole wheat flour and 100g of water, then every day after that i feed it 50/50 cheap AP flour and spring water. my tap water kills starters so i had to use bottled.

I made some bread.   It's the pain à l’ancienne recipe from The Bread Baker's Apprentice, so, 79% hydration, I think? I've made bread before but this was my first time weighing the ingredients and making a shaped loaf instead of just putting the dough in a dutch oven. I was a little nervous (see the bits at the end where I had to fold them in at the last minute because I realized they were too wide), but it turned out really well. Great flavor, and the crust was nice and crispy and chewy. Not burnt on the bottom either, which I was worried about. I'll definitely be making more later.  [Pictured: the one end that flopped out over the edge] If anyone else has experience using a baking steel for bread, do you know if there's any risk of rust from doing the "hot water in a pan to make steam" thing? I would assume not since the oven is still so hot while it cools down, but I figured I'd check.

i wouldn't worry about rust but you will probably experience some mineral scaling that can be removed with vinegar. nice crumb

I had a bunch of leftover pumpkin pie filling and am sick of eating pumpkin pie so I added a couple cups of flour and some baking powder and made it into a quick bread. Probably should have used a shorter loaf pan to get a taller loaf but it worked out ok in the end.

It was literally pie filling so it already had sugar , spices ,eggs, etc... I did add a pinch more salt.

So I'll be making, among other things, fresh bread for a friendsgiving this Saturday. I'm fairly experienced but am looking for any ideas on what kind of bread to make, and approximately how many cups of flour I should aim for with that many people. I love the Dutch oven overnight bread, but think that would take too long since I'd have to bake each loaf individually.

Dip your hands in cold water frequently; as soon as they dry out, the dough sticks. Move smoothly and decisively.

Hi all! I took the plunge on the urging of a friend and started a starter. Things have been going well except I’m not getting good “ears” on my slashes. Am I just not slashing deeply enough?

Yeah, slash deeper and at an angle closer to parallel to the floor.

Stringent posted:Remember to take lots of pictures. Impossible, sadly  I had imagined that I would shape it into a boule, proof it in a banneton and bake it in the Dutch oven but it did not want to be worked with once I got it onto the counter and I ran out of time so into a loaf pan it went to proof, and probably over-proofed a bit. The result is great, though, with an open crumb that's not too dense, good crust and flavor.

I made a half recipe of this, but added rye flour to the final dough instead of wheat flour: https://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/extra-tangy-sourdough-bread-recipe It came out ok, didn't rise vertically as much as I'd like but the crumb and flavor are fine.

 100% hydration 100% rye, second attempt. I did this pretty much no knead style- just mixed the starter into the water, mixed the dough, proofed in a bowl for 2 hours, scraped it into a buttered loaf pan, proofed overnight and baked in the morning. It rose better in the oven but still fell a bit internally. I used altus (nothing is more rye than flavoring your rye bread with old rye bread) and some appropriate seeds this time. All in all it's a pretty good rye bread. What's going on with the cavity I'm ending up with in the top? Is it overproofed? Would a pullman pan fix it?

All this very good looking bread was making me jealous so I made some challah today. Now instead of my planned dinner I'm just eating big honkin' slices with butter and honey. Extremely worth it.
