Just a fraction too much dough.
Next time I think 350g instead of 400g flour to start and see how that goes.
That is so neat and tidy! I've upgraded to a squarer tin too, but mine has as open top. I'm still experimenting with flour amounts, I use around 250gm spelt and 300gm of wheat flour at the moment, with 200gm of starter.
This one is great because it is small enough to fit inside my toaster oven, and with the top on I don't need to worry about the dough rising too high and hitting the top. It should be a perfect fit for the pre-sliced cheese which is very handy too. Being able to finish one loaf in the toaster oven also meant I could start a fruit loaf while that one was finishing rising/cooking.
I think my next step is to sit down with a calculator and work out some different recipe sizes. The 400g is great for a small loaf in the breadmaker, but a touch too big for this tin and makes 5 rolls, when either 4 or 6 would work better. Its a good time to do it, as I've just used the last of my pre-measured 400g containers.
Ohh, I have a wee toaster oven that I love. Where'd'ja the tin?
Temu. It seems fairly robust, although not as good quality as my other small (lidless) tin I got for $3.50 from and op shop years ago. I know exactly how much that one cost because they wrote the price directly onto the tin with a permanent marker that lived up to its name and never came off ๐คฃ
