Mizahar's Sunday Bakeoff - Tricolored Braids!

Postby Gossamer on April 16th, 2010, 5:23 pm

Hey Folks -

A few of us are going to get together (sort of - over the net) and have a bake off this sunday. It started out as a project Cayenne and I were going to do together last sunday, but as such things go there were things that got in the way of my participation - taxes and kittens! So, we decided to do it this sunday. We're all going to bake together and post pictures of the results. As far as I know, its Cayenne, myself, Miharu, and Stitch who'll be playing. But you are welcome to play as well. We're going to make a tricolored rye braid bread.

The recipe is here along with a picture of the bread. If your interested, we're going to start late morning (for me) or early afternoon for the more western folks. It doesn't actually matter what time you start - just that if you want to play you do. We'll post results here and maybe have some sort of competition or something with the resulting images! For the record I've never tried this recipe and I am not normally a bread baker, but this sounded so much fun. So, though it takes a bit of time, don't be afraid to give it a try! I have no idea if mine will even look photographically worthy, but its still a whole lot of fun trying. I know Stitch is already pondering putting twists on the recipe himself. :)

Have fun and see you sunday!

I'm in! I'll be the judge. I can PM you my address where you can send your baking efforts. I promise a fair ruling!

...

No, eh? Well, we could at least instate a new Weird Award so my own medal doesn't feel so lonely.

Mizahar's Sunday Bakeoff - Tricolored Braids!

Postby Dusk on April 18th, 2010, 10:46 pm

Okay! I didn't manage to wake up early enough to go get the ingredients for the Tri-Colored Braid, so I made banana bread instead. :D

Full recipe and pictures can be found here!
PLEASE NOTE: Finals are over, but summer is eating my soul. As such, as of the end of June I will not be accepting any new quests/modded threads until I finish some of the ones I've already started/agreed to. My apologies for this, but I don't want to be unfair to those who have been waiting for replies!

Here's some 'so far' pics... this recipe literally takes all day!

Image

The Ingredients. I added a pinch of vanilla too.. cause I don't think food is truly good without it. :)

Image

This is after you divide the initial batter but make the first white dough. Sorry my bowls don't match. I'm not Martha friggin Stewart.

Image

This is just beginning to kneed the wheat bread part.

Image

They are all kneeded and oiled ready to double so they can be punched down to roll into ropes.

Image

Ropes being made after dough is risen, punched, then cut in half.

Image

First braid! Yea... fun fun!

Image

Almost finished product. Now they just have to rise again and double... before going in the oven!

Wwweeeeeee!

Oh my, Goss. You did quite well! Here is a picture of the wheat bread dough, after the first rise. We had all the doughs balled up pretty tight, and in bowls.

Image

Well, my braid doesn't look as good as Jen's, but I think it looks pretty nice! I have no idea how to braid, so my girlfriend attempted it, and she did pretty well! And now, I will know how to braid for next time. 8D!

Image

And now, because I absolutely have to make everything look as good as I can in presentation... Here is the first serving of bread, how it would be offered to a guest. Well, at least so I thought...

Image

But, no, no. Not enough color. The honey doesn't show up well enough. The bread looks nice, but it could use something more... Our very own Kamalia offered an idea, a caramel dip. I made some, but I didn't think the bread would dip very well... So I added milk, and thinned it out just a bit... And drizzled the caramel onto the bread, along with the honey and butter...

Image

And there you have it. Tri-colored/flavored bread braid, served with a honey and caramel sauce. <33333

Breadgasm! You did awesomely Stitch! That looks delicious. And you learned to braid to boot. If Jinka ever has little Jinkas you'll be all ready for pigtails and braids - in the far distant future... of course!

Anyhow, I'll post finish pictures of mine once my camera battery charges back up. It died! The audacity of it. But I tried it.. .it was really good.

Edit: I spiced mine up as I went.. added vanilla to the white, and a little amaretto to the pumpernickel and wheat. Mine's got flavor but then I think everything is great with booze added.

Bread orgy. <3333

That looks delicious, Mish. You did really well. How 'bout packaging up a second bread box, and sending me a sample, hm?

But yeah, braiding doesn't look too hard.. Just have to remember which thread to weave where, and make sure it is tight, and make sure not to mess up, or get it in a knot... -fret-
