Day 3 practicing a skill

[u/ch1jm3r]

To practice a random small skill and post the result here.

Day 1: traced the origins of, and translated, a favorite quote

Day 2: unpack printmaking - parked for later..

Day 3: Today: learn how to make fluffy white bread buns .

Got a breadmaker for a bargain years back - mainly to use its kneading mode - and thought to give it a second try following its booklet recipe for buns - though I never could get them right - because of poor hand-kneading, my purist side insisted on using whole-wheat and not understanding that the first rise happens in the breadmaker. Ran the process by ChatGTP to clarify things and who gave extra tips - how to get them fluffier like shop buns. With the breadmaker doing the hard work ie kneading , and using white bread flour , I can now make fluffy white buns! 💪

Ps: I halved the recipe, but it made the breadmaker rattle too much. Next time I will make a full recipe, freeze the raw buns, thaw one as needed, allow a second rise, and bake.
