available. I'm planning to stay productive, contributing to some open-source projects, but it also
occurred to me that despite <a href=https://speice.io/2018/05/hello.html target=_blank rel="noopener noreferrer">talking about</a> bread pics, this
blog has been purely technical. Maybe I'll change the site title from "The Old Speice Guy" to "Bites
and Bytes"?</p>
<p>Either way, I'm baking a little bit again, and figured it was worth taking a quick break to focus on
some lighter material. I recently learned two critically important lessons: first, the temperature
of the dough when you put the yeast in makes a huge difference.</p>
<p>Previously, when I wasn't paying attention to dough temperature:</p>
<p><img decoding=async loading=lazy alt="Whole weat dough" src=/assets/images/whole-wheat-not-rising-922d19641c91922b7634fff1d6f15e6d.jpg width=432 height=549 class=img_ev3q></p>
<p>Compared with what happens when I put the dough in the microwave for a defrost cycle because the
water I used wasn't warm enough:</p>
<p><img decoding=async loading=lazy alt="White dough" src=/assets/images/white-dough-rising-before-fold-c5a4424f9a5227f1f8e86b13b436782c.jpg width=432 height=438 class=img_ev3q></p>
<p>I mean, just look at the bubbles!</p>
<p><img decoding=async loading=lazy alt="White dough with bubbles" src=/assets/images/white-dough-rising-after-fold-d7a27f12c1d2be572807105d6d7321f3.jpg width=432 height=428 class=img_ev3q></p>
<p>After shaping the dough, I've got two loaves ready:</p>
<p><img decoding=async loading=lazy alt="Shaped loaves" src=/assets/images/shaped-loaves-cea15e9ccef6b180525abaee2d288880.jpg width=864 height=486 class=img_ev3q></p>
<p>Now, the recipe normally calls for a Dutch Oven to bake the bread because it keeps the dough from
drying out in the oven. Because I don't own a Dutch Oven, I typically put a casserole dish on the
bottom rack and fill it with water so there's still some moisture in the oven. This time, I forgot
to add the water and learned my second lesson: never add room-temperature water to a glass dish
that's currently at 500 degrees.</p>
<p><img decoding=async loading=lazy alt="Shattered glass dish" src=/assets/images/shattered-glass-0b56af0302f7a8c3295bf43cbab77ffe.jpg width=864 height=486 class=img_ev3q></p>
<p>Needless to say, trying to pull out sharp glass from an incredibly hot oven is not what I expected
to be doing during my garden leave.</p>
<p>In the end, the bread crust wasn't great, but the bread itself turned out pretty alright:</p>

<p>I've been writing a lot more during this break, so I'm looking forward to sharing that in the
future. In the mean-time, I'm planning on making a sandwich.</div></article><nav class="pagination-nav docusaurus-mt-lg" aria-label="Blog post page navigation"><a class="pagination-nav__link pagination-nav__link--prev" href=/2019/02/summary><div class=pagination-nav__sublabel>Older post</div><div class=pagination-nav__label>Allocations in Rust: Summary</div></a><a class="pagination-nav__link pagination-nav__link--next" href=/2019/06/high-performance-systems><div class=pagination-nav__sublabel>Newer post</div><div class=pagination-nav__label>On building high performance systems</div></a></nav></main></div></div></div><footer class=footer><div class="container container-fluid"><div class="footer__bottom text--center"><div class=footer__copyright>Copyright © 2024 Bradlee Speice</div></div></div></footer></div>
