What Did You Cook or Bake today?

I won't be making overnight bread again 🙄 . Not only wasn't I able to nap after working my 13th day in a row, but I dislike the texture. It's like the gluten was overdeveloped, and is bouncy, kinda like seitan without anything added to cut the gluten. Maybe I shouldn't have used bread flour? IDK, is not for me. I have and love my Kitchenaide mixer and have plenty of yeast!
Those date walnut balls however, are divine!
 
I mixed four batches of dough, thinking at least one would be really good, but they all failed. It's just too warm and they all over proofed. I made one into a cinnamon sugar focaccia and that ended up being good. The other three loaves are just too dense. I have to figure out if I can do something with them. They really won't be enjoyable if I just try to toast them. I could do croutons as I really love them but since my jaw issue, which is improved but not "better", I can't eat anything too chewy or crunchy. Maybe I can make breadcrumbs.

I wonder if I could do a bread pudding... 🤔 Some things just don't work out for me without eggs.

I was going to suggest breadcrumbs as well. I'm sorry the dough didn't work out. :(

I'm going to make flatbread today and maybe a loaf of white bread. I'm being lazy today, lol. I'm home for a couple of days, so I want to take advantage and do some food prep.
