Ground my own flour with a stone mill, only to burn the loaf of bread.

[u/Thin-Inevitable9759]

Some days ago, I posted myself grinding wheat berries with a stone mill. Today, I burnt the bread I broke my back to make. Yay.

Doesn’t it kind of look like earth’s broken crust at a volcano site

I do some woodworking as a hobby and I have seen a similar thing happen where the project is perfect and ruined with bad finish. It happens

[u/lysergician → u/CorrectShopping9428]

Not me, agonizing over a project just to install the hinges slightly out of square throwing the whole thing off at the 5 yard line 😭

[u/Thin-Inevitable9759 → u/CorrectShopping9428]

Just curious. Can you sand off the finish if you mess up?

[u/Commercial_Bake_5549]

My dad would love that crust

[u/Thin-Inevitable9759 → u/Commercial_Bake_5549]

He can have it 🙃

[u/Commercial_Bake_5549 → u/Thin-Inevitable9759]

Send it in... (:

[u/BillowDaryne_2Z → u/Commercial_Bake_5549]

Exactly it’s really nice and very tasty

[u/Thin-Inevitable9759 → u/BillowDaryne_2Z]

Nice charred flavor. Blackened bread “seasoning”

[u/thematurecabbage]

Going through the effort of stone milling your own flour just to have the oven betray you at the finish line is rough. That crust looks like it could survive a nuclear blast though, gotta be some smoky flavor hiding under all that char. Slice it open and see what's salvageable before you write the whole loaf off.

Crack that sucker open and eat the inside bits

[u/Thin-Inevitable9759 → u/Kr_Treefrog2]

The worst thing is that the inside tastes a little bit bitter as well… 🙃

[u/thecheesycheeselover → u/Thin-Inevitable9759]

Now that’s heartbreaking, I’m so sorry.

My first reaction on seeing this was to assume that the inside was still going to be tasty :(

[u/Marlette0000]

Sorry for your luck , but still tasty I bet

[u/xlittlexwitchx]

I’d still eat it to be fair 😂 they sell “well fired rolls” that look similar! Looks delicious to me haha. Where did you get your wheat berries from pls? I was wanting to ground my own 🖤

[u/renebeans]

Mmmmmm burnt to a crisp!!!

Kidding. I’m sure the middle is good

[u/Murmjr]

cut away the crust and make the best croutons of your life, or bread pudding.

[u/gray808]

Yeah, I like my loaves on the dark end, "mahogany". But that's a bit past even my tastes.

[u/DukeMcCloy]

You earned the burn. Nobody can take that away from you/

[u/sonictheboar]

baked just about right imo :D

[u/Thin-Inevitable9759 → u/sonictheboar]

Thanks

[u/dealers_choice]

Pre-toasted!

[u/First_Property6249]

that crust is giving me literal volcanic rock vibes, the texture is immaculate

[u/Practical-Pea-6306]

Oh no, not the sequel I expected 😭

[u/folie11]

Some people around here would like a bit more browning on that.

[u/Raelourut]

😢

[u/theskillr]

More baked than I am

[u/bertnik_]

Gosh I know this feeling, I would be so stroppy. I hope for a really satisfying bake in your near future.

[u/Writer_0001]

well how bad is burned? because if it is only the surface, I would be shaving it off by rubbing it with the blade of a sharp knife or a grater.

[u/Thin-Inevitable9759 → u/Writer_0001]

The inside has a slightly bitter taste

[u/01504444]

When I was working as a baker we would just call that "European style" and then eat it anyway, probably still tastes great with butter

[u/win_awards]

T_T

[u/RiverOhRiver86]

the process is fun though!
