I know I post a lot of beautiful bread pictures, but the reality is that a lot of failures happen. I threw away DOZENS of bagels when I first started them. The first loaf of French bread was essentially a 10” oblong hockey puck and today I made ciabatta rolls that looked like a steam roller broke down on them for about 8 hours. Just a reminder, this is STILL social media and most of us want to highlight the amazing end product, but the behind the scenes is not always as pretty. I am posting what the ciabatta rolls SHOULD have looked like, because I don’t want to hurt their feelings by posting unflattering photos (I have instagram kids, remember? lol).
