Bloomers, loafs, flatbreads, rye breads, wheat breads, sourdough breads, yeast breads - all fermented breads are welcome! Vienesse pastries like croissants are also welcome because technically they're breads too.
This is an English language only comminuty.
Rules:
- All posts must be bread or baking-related.
- No SPAM and advertising posts. If you want to promote your business - contact mods first to get an approval.
- No NSFW content.
- Try to share your recipe with your photos so everyone is able to recreate it.
- All recipes are public domain, recipe books are not. You can post any recipe invented by someone else, but you cannot post copyrighted work. That means no photos of book pages and screenshots of 3rd party web sites. Write the recipe down in text format instead.

Does.... Ash mean something different here than burnt residue?
Ash literally refers to the weight of the mineral ash residue if the flour is completely burnt. Because mineral content is found mainly in the bran and germ, it’s a good proxy measure for how white or whole the flour is.
Thanks for the explanation. What a strange way to measure things.
