Hmmm. Although I've baked many loaves of potato bread from scratch
in my life I've never actually worked in a bakery. Even though I own
one. Can't be that hard to bake in a commercial bakery, right?
One of the differences between commercial baking and at-home
baking
is that in a commercial bakery one uses formulas. At home one uses
recipes. And I knew commercial bakers write down the formulas a bit
differently. Starting with the total weight of the danged flour and
then with percentages thereafter (I think) of the other ingredients
to come out with the total weight. And the weights are pretty
precise.
So, as I sit here sipping a nice cappuccino by myself in my very
own bakery and contemplating life I shall also contemplate spending
a little more time with the baker. And learning how to down-size the
formulas so I don't end up with 18 lbs of dough instead of 1.8lbs.
I'll be working on that issue. Now I'm off to pawn some extra bread
off on unsuspecting people since I've not tasted it as of yet.
I'm guessing there are a few who have seen the ancient Little
Rascals episodes and the one where they get loose in a kitchen to
bake bread.

Very interesting, - BUT why is this thread not posted on the baking
newsgroup instead of a coffee newsgroup? ???
