So yesterday I was talking about how I had a problem with some of my bread, it was to dense, I wanted to try out using a higher protein flour and see if it improves my results. Well I did it last night and sure enough that was the trick. I also tried starting with a smaller amount of flour and adding till I got the right mix. It turns out that the higher protein does great a lot more bubbles in the bread and those bubbles are much larger giving me the right texture for a sandwich bread. The pic below shows this to a "T". For a full set of pics from this loaf here is the link. Today with my day off I am trying without any real instructions but the basics of what I have to create a good whole wheat loaf. I was reading about this the other day and they say that you have to use the bread flour and whole wheat flour in a 2 to 1 ratio pretty much so I sent with that and things are looking good. I also added a Tbsp of light brown sugar instead of just 3 Tbsp of honey homing to get it a little sweater to off set the whole wheat. Those pics are on there way soon enough. If you want me to make you some bread just let me know, I have a whole bunch of great recipes working right now so I can probably find something you will like.
And special for the dredwerkz here are some pics of my first customer.
So I am trying to come up with names for the bakery. Here is what I like "The District Breads" or just "District Breads". So come on what are your thoughts.
Democrats now have 233 seats in the 110th congress, more than Republicans have had since 1952. the Republican "revolution" never secured this large a majority in the House. We beat them. We did better than they ever did. So much for the vaunted Republican political machine, which recorded record voter contacts, record fundraising, and record early voting this cycle. With their best effort, we beat them harder than they ever beat us. With FL-13, we could make our total in the House 234.
Go Dems!
So here are all the pics I promised Ed. So the first set is of the completed bench minus the stain and paint. The second set of pics is of my new and semi decorated Christmas Tree. The last couple pics are more of the wall, they are actually on the last page of the wall set. Note the very last one which is an outlet in the ceiling, how nice is that.
You know when it's time to get new contacts? When you spend at least five minutes every couple of hours poking your eye to rotate a contact so that the protein deposit moves out of the center of your vision.
Thankfully I have health insurance once again.
