Bread experiment

The Bubbo · 2006-02-10T03:28:42+00:00

I have this bread recipe chugging away in the machine right now. I added a palmful (about a tablespoon) of crystalized ginger chunks and had to use honey instead of molasses as I am out of molasses. It's on its first rise right now, should be done by 11. Very excited, I'll keep you posted. -- ..:Heather:. www.velvet-c.com Step off, beyotches, I'm the roflpimp!

Have you made it with sourdough?

nope, no sourdough. I've not worked with sourdough starter yet, but I might
start soon.
Final verdict on the bread..."meh". It was okay but not nearly as exciting as
I had hoped. It was good with cherry jam though.

I don't think ginger is compatable with yeast breads, especially not
the strong yeastiness of sourdough... the two Alpha/Machismo flavors
clash, mano y mano. However, ginger is good with quick breads.. I've
often added grated ginger to muffins, especially good in raisin bran
muffins. Naturally gingerbread contains no yeast either, neither
ginger snaps.... ginger snaps make an excellent crust for cheesecake,
as will candied ginger added to the cheese mixture, and/or blended with
pineapple jam as a topping.

yeah, you're right. I think the flavors just didn't go together as well as I
had hoped. But live and learn I say.

Well? I'm up to the 11th, and haven't seen your report. How did it

it was only 'meh'. The bread was okay, but the ginger flavor wasn't very
strong. I was unimpressed.
Mostly I am trying to get better about experimenting with things I was scared
to experiment with before AND be fine with them not turning out.
I made jam this weekend for the first time. It tasted good (though a bit too
sweet) but it didn't set at all. So that was disappointing but I'm okay with
it.

After I sent the message, I found your responses way down the list for
whatever reason.
Definately add at least 1/4 cup of the ginger to the bread.
I tried to make Turkish Delight, and ended up with jelly. I think the
recipe calls for too much water, since the simmering stage never
raised the temperature above 100C. Saw some other recipes with
different balances of ingredients to liquids, will try one of them
this week and see if I can't get it to solidify.
