Ask HN: Who Is Baking?
I've been baking a lot while working from home. I posted a video today on how to make ciabatta during your pomodoro breaks. Check it out!
- ksaj 7y agoI mentioned in your other post that I made bread earlier today. It's cooling off now. https://imgur.com/gallery/E0xaCys https://imgur.com/gallery/E0xaCys I think if I got the camera angle and lighting right, I could totally make an Instagram shot of it. Funny how there's always that ONE part that wants to stick out.

- flysonic10 7y agoIf you take 10 min tonight to make the starter (poolish), you'll be good to go to make the main dough in the morning!
- hazebooth 7y agothats dope man
- evangelosdotnl 7y agoGreat work! happy to hear that also other people bake! I started baking croissants, and I couldn't believe that I could get such good results at home. Next challenge is bread and then homemade pasta!
- flysonic10 7y agoI need to get started on croissants, or better yet pain au chocolat. What recipe do you use?
- evangelosdotnl 7y agothis one; https://www.weekendbakery.com/posts/classic-french-croissant-recipe/ https://www.weekendbakery.com/posts/classic-french-croissant... my suggestions would be to focus a) on ingredients (make sure you get the right flour and butter, plays a huge role) and b) temperature. The colder it is the easier it will be to get a good result! P.S: the website contains a lot of interesting recipes
- tmaly 7y agoI baked some pandesal and some gluten free, egg free carrot cake. Still trying to perfect the pandesal. I skipped the second rise on first try. It came out too dense. I will make some banana bread today. I usually make it every two weeks.
- irremediable 7y agoI make sourdough breads. I highly recommend Mick Hartley's recipes and ebooks at https://thepartisanbaker.com/ https://thepartisanbaker.com/ His approach really appeals to me, and to other hacker-y types that I've shared it with. He's tested a lot of the various steps that people recommend during baking, and documented which of them actually seem to make a difference.
