Snickerdoodle Cookies

While proofing may be the most passive step in bread baking — you literally sit back and wait — it’s also one of the most crucial. Most people focus on the first rise, while the second proofing stage of knowing when to put the dough in the oven is where I see more mistakes being made. Be willing to make mistakes and master the second proof for Happier baking!

Next to flour of some type, salt is in all baking recipes. While extremely important, the type to get depends upon what type of baking you are doing. That being said, there is no reason to spend $12.95 on 15 oz of table salt unless you really like the jar. Happy Baking, Sheila McCann Show Notes. In this episode, Sheila covers dough formations, how to knead and tell when you got to the good dough stage.    Also, bread shaping tips, proofing dynamics, scoring cleanly, baking properly, bread cooling and slicing.   To subscribe to this podcast go here.   For more information about House of Bread, please visit www.houseofbread.com.  To purchase the House of Bread recipe book, please visit https://houseofbread.com/recipe-book/  To take an on line class, please visit https://houseofbread.com/product-category/online-baking-class/   If you’d like more information about the franchise opportunity with House of Bread, please visit www.houseofbreadfranchise.com.   For our Utube channel, please go here https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCXH5NgT8vpnAuSuZN5AxEQQ.      

I previously did an entire episode on King's Cake. This one offers tips from the McKinney Franchisee who is the queen of King Cake sales. The cakes have a baby inside and are shaped like a big huge donut.  For King Cakes, we frost than add the colored sugars of yellow, purple and green.  The colors signify yellow/gold for power, green for justice and purple for faith.  We use a pastry style sweet dough, which is rich and dense.  Not really cake like more bread like in texture.      ½ cup of honey 3 cups of white flour bread flour 1 cup of whole wheat flour bread flour 1Tablespoon of salt 1 Tablespoon of vanilla 2 Eggs ¼ cup of butter softened 2 packages of yeast or 1 ¾ Tablespoon of dried yeast. 1 ½ cups of milk warmed   Make the dough into a long rope like shape much like you would for a baguette.  Flatten out the roll, and put brown sugar and a cinnamon mixture in the middle.    1 cup of brown sugar 1 Tablespoon of cinnamon   Bake for approximately 30-35 minutes until the bread reaches 180 degrees.     With a pastry brush, paint on a layer of powdered sugar and water. 1 cup of powdered sugar Add a tablespoon of water at a time to get a runny pancake batter consistency. The frosting is thin and used to help the colored sugars stick to the loaf.  Sprinkle each segment liberally with yellow, green and then purple sugars.   You alternate each color.    Colored sugar.  Place a cup of white sugar into a plastic bag and add a drop or two of food color.  Seal the bag shut and shake the bag until the color is evenly distributed.  Keep adding food color if needed to get the desired brightness.      Place the sheet in the middle of the pre-heated oven for 30-35 minutes.  Check to see if the loaf has baked long enough by taking the temperature of the dough in the middle of the loaf, and it should reach 180 degrees.  Place on a wire rack and let cool for 15-20 minutes before frosting and adding the sugars.  

A decadent yeasted chocolate bread that you can shape in a heart for the perfect Valentine's Day gift.   Plenty of chocolate and a bit of sugar to make sure you are delighted for breakfast toast, or an evening dessert.   If you have some leftover, you can turn this loaf into chocolate biscotti.   CHOCOLATE BREAD (Yield two loaves) ½ cup of warm water (approximately 100 degrees) ½ cup of brewed coffee warm ½ cup of milk 2 packages or one and 3/4 tablespoons of active dry yeast 3 cups of unbleached flour (bread flour, high protein) 1 cup of wheat flour (gold or white whole wheat preferred) 1/4 cup of white sugar ¼ cup of cocoa unsweetened ¼ cup of butter very soft 1 egg 1 Tablespoon of salt Add at the end of the kneading when you have the good dough stage: ½ cup of white chocolate chips ½ cup of dark chocolate chips. Let rise 1.5 hours, shape into hearts and let rise again .5 hour and bake in a 350 degree oven until internal temp is 180 degrees.    For more information about House of Bread, please visit www.houseofbread.com.

How do you know if you have given your dough enough time to develop a good texture and flavor? Well it is not that easy, because there are so many variables that a set time cannot be given in a recipe. I give you some tips, but understand that the real answer reveals itself when the bread comes out of the oven. That's baking bread, and why it is still interesting to me because I can get it wrong. There is no such thing as a master baker, because no one rules the dough-you can only shape it, feel it watch it and hope for the best. Happy Baking!
