Make two loaves of bread - PEP BB food.sand.bread

I try to make bread for the family once a week using my sourdough. This recipe is my tried and true favorite for slicing bread and soft buns. The recipe makes enough for a loaf and 6-8 hamburger buns, depending on how big you want your buns. Here are photos from last week’s bake and today’s.

This went over really well at my party, just posting it here so i don't lose the info when i do my second loaf!

I love using my stand mixer to make bread because it's so much easier to put on a dough hook and turn it on than knead the dough by hand. Sometimes doing it by hand is nice, and sometimes it's nice to set a timer work on the rest of dinner while the dough hook works.

Loaf 1: Sandwitch bread
- 1 packet (2 1/8 teaspoons) yeast
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons softened butter
- 1 cup warm water
- A bit of salt
- Enough flour to make a non-sticky dough

Mix into a ball, knead ~8ish minutes. Rise an hour, knock back, put in loaf pan, rise 30 more minutes. Bake 30 minutes at 375 degrees.

Loaf 2: Focaccia bread
- 3 3/4 cup flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt
- rosemary
- 1 1/2 tablespoons yeast
- 1 1/2 cups hot milk

Mix everything but milk, add in milk, knead 8 minutes. Put on an oiled pan, flatten roughly into a circle, cover and let rise 30 minutes. Poke gently, brush with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and rosemary, bake 20 minutes at 400 degrees.

Pulled out my favorite bread recipe for this one. I found it during the early part of the pandemic and it's pretty simple. The bread keeps well enough but it's so tasty it doesn't last long in our house.
Here's the recipe, it's from Lil Luna


Mixing the ingredients


Before and after kneading


After some rising, and being punched down


After another 2 hours, before and after going in the oven


Finally! Cooling and then well, we ate about half the first loaf before I could even get a picture c: It cut easily enough, but it needed some more cooling time for sure.

Here is my BB submission:

Happy blizzard to all those in the Northeast! Good day for baking

I made a loaf of challah using Michael Solomonov’s recipe in “Zahav” and a loaf of pumpernickel(ish) from this recipe:   https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/7020/pumpernickel-bread-ii/

I baked the challah on a pizza stone and the pumpernickel in a Dutch oven.

Thanks for your consideration!
