I’m on a quest to make good bread – not just bread, but good bread. Bread with depth of flavor, good crumb and texture, a golden crust and a soft chewy center. It’s a lot to ask, I realize, but I’m game for a quest.
I first thought that I had enough experience with foccacia and such that I could start in the middle of my pursuit and try to make Scottish baps for bacon rolls. Not! I won’t even post the recipe that I used because I’ve boggled it so badly.
Since any quest, even for perfect bread, is a series of victories and unexpected failures challenges, I figured it was only fair to post the first disastrous failure; which will make the victories even sweeter (and the bread tastier).
Thus, above is a photo of a batch of misshapen can’t-call-them-baps. But… as not to pronounce a complete collapse I reshaped them and now they are “sandwich rolls” and tasted great as bacon rolls.
On to the next try…
