You Can't Win 'em All

November 16, 2015 Kevin Estey

Are those scones?

Those are not scones.  They are dinner rolls.  And they had a LOT of yeast in them.  Both active dry yeast as well as leavened yeast. They rose beautifully in the fridge, and after shaping.  But I didn't anticipate how quickly they would overproof.  I stuck the the recipe, but a few hangups lengthened the proofing before baking bay anywhere from 30-60 extra minutes.  As a result, they didn't rise at all in the oven - no spring whatsoever.  In fact, they kinda melted like cookies.

They were still tasty, but overall they were not rolls.  Next time I will stick to a more traditional roll recipe.  AND I will account for the smaller volume of dough and reduce the proof time drastically.  Plus, with that much yeast inside, I suspect the proof time can be reduced evern further.

But in the end, I am glad I found in a very blunt manner that I still have a lot to learn.  It is exciting to realize that there is still so much more discover in the world of bread for me to uncover.

Onward and upward!
