Made both a regular brown loaf and an experimental set of brown flour brioche rolls in the last few days. Didn’t quite nail either of them to the point I was really happy, but both certainly still edible. The brioche probably just needs to be cooked slightly less and formed into a flatter, wider shape than I did. Will then be perfect for burgers I think.
Following some advice in the River Cottage Bread book, I stuck the brioche dough in the fridge overnight to do its rising, and it makes working with it to form the buns so much easier. Might have to try it with the hot cross buns next Easter, as they were a fucker to work with.

A couple of my usual multi grain loaves raised with Doves yeast.
I binned off my sourdough culture. Must raise the enthusiasm to try that again at some point.

Another sourdough - I really need to organise a way to make two or three at a time to reduce the faff factor. I’m thinking about building myself a front opening three level proving oven.
