Good Morning from So Calif...
I am getting the itch to make bread/english muffins/pizza dough again but every time I have tried in the past, they look fine, but the taste like flour mixed with water and heated up. Just plain bland. You would think these would be tasty... but Nope.....
They tasted like flour.
I know I am missing something and I am kneeling before the All Knowing Wisdom of the Forum Experts: What the heck do you do??
I use basic Gold Medal AP flour, tap water from Southern Calif, and the little packets of yeast. Sometimes I will hand knead, sometimes I will use the KitchenAid with dough hook. Our house is generally cold and tends to lower humidity. The end result is just little or no bread flavor. Just baked flour.
Thanks for any advice. As I was looking at other comments about breadmaking, others have said the internet is full of conflicting information and you folks have never let me down.....
