dolariBread Update #3
So, instructions say 20 minutes to bake. I KNOW to ignore that, and take the bread out once the top is golden brown and the thump sounds hollowish. This was nicely done in 10 (my oven is way off kilter and is either too hot or too cold).
And it LOOKS like bread. Like...it puffed UP instead of OUT.
I did mess one thing up where I was supposed to steam the bread, so if it's a dryer than I'd like, I'll call that a genuine mistake versus "baking bread is not for you."
But it certainly is looking like I just need to ignore any times given in recipes and just go with what looks best. Which is hard when you're not taught what looks best.
I'm cutting this open when it cools down....
