    Bubbly looking tops to baked bread

    Reply Contact

    I have been baking bread instead of buying it off and on for years and years.  The past few months I have picked it back up.  I am noticing that my bread has small "bubbles" on the crust after I bake it.  I brush it with butter to keep the crust soft.  How do I keep it soft without this method?   Why the bubbly texture?   Thanks so much for your help.Big Smile

    Some say that the bubbles (are we talking tiny bubbles or great big ones the size of half an egg?) are the result of over or under mixing.....now, doesn't that clear it all up? I just take a needle and *** the bubbles and bake the bread! I think sometimes greasing (I usually use baking spray) the tops of the loaf makes for a prettier top. I'm not much help but I want to welcome you to the bulletin board.
