Love it, @ChuckO ! Bread is a lot of fun, glad you got a nice mixer so you can dive in. For what it's worth, I've been making bread since about 2012, and I didn't get a mixer until this Christmas....After years of wanting one, I got a Stand Mixer. Seeing all the breads made on this forum, I've always wanted to participate, but didn't have the mixer. Now I d
First loaf of bread I've ever made. Not too shabby
It IS really nice for enriched breads, really stiff doughs, etc. I still enjoy getting my hands into a batch of dough and really feeling how it changes through the process.That's a very nice looking loaf of sandwich bread. You're off to a great start. If you decide to dip your toe into the sourdough/naturally leavened side of things, let me know. I can share some of my starter, and favorite sites (thefreshloaf.com is the best!)

Your wife has great taste. I've come so close to buying that numerous times. I need to finally pull the trigger.

I got a fruitcake and a bottle o' Pinch. In my old age, I like the fruitcake more than the Pinch. I've always like a good fruitcake. This one is the one I await every year. It comes from a friend that home makes these for his friends. It's dark and rich with rum, covered in cheesecloth, plastic wrap, then foil. I just finished a piece with my coffee this morning.

Not equipment, but a really sweet gift from my daughter. She commissioned a friend who works as a merchandizing consultant to create a logo and stickers for my Q when I give it away. She keeps pushing me to sell this stuff, and her belief in me (however misguided, LOL) is really touching. (I've been using the name "That'll Do, Pig" in my family as an inside joke name for my fake BBQ company for years, every time someone asks me to make them a batch "when I have time.")

Don't tell my bride that you can make bread w/o a stand mixer, it was the only way I could get her to buy me one, LOLLove it, @ChuckO !

I'll definitely take you up on your starter, but not until I've got a few cooks under my belt. Here's my plan for New Year's Day

@ChuckO: if you don't have it already, get yourself a copy of this book. It'll elevate your game - mixer or not. Very similar baking method to the video you shared.

I'm into artisan bread. Just pulled a loaf of sourdough out of the oven. Nothing like white turkey meat sammiches on sourdough with mayo, cranberry sauce, salt & pepper. Can't wait for it to cool.
