Troy The Bread Boy
@troytothemax.bsky.social
Father of 3, master of none. Amateur hobbyist. Co-host to everything. Also known as Bread Boy. Usually tired.
This last week I got inspired by watching a soup inclusion focaccia video, so I tried my hand at a chicken broth sourdough, with chicken soup inclusions such as celery, carrot, onion and parsley. The bread came out smelling just like chicken soup. Used strong bread flour and khorasan.

Tried a new flour blend tonight and it smells so good coming out of this oven. A mix of higher protein bread flour, a whole kernel Glenn flour, and a touch of Einkorn makes this kitchen smell amazing.

Here's the finished product of the caramelized onion and white cheddar loaf. Smells great. So soft, yet crispy and oh so savory.

My brothers and I celebrate my youngest brother's birthday each year with a "Bro Day" hangout. Since we all enjoy cooking and experimenting with food, this year I'm taking inspiration from Justin Davies on Instagram by creating tree-themed dishes, including pine pops and spruce tip ice cream.

Here's a few pics of some April baking sessions I've had so far. This month I was running a Lemon Blueberry Country Loaf as a special and everyone seems to bite on that. I also made some Carrot Cake cupcakes for my daughter's birthday late last night. It's one of her faves.

Got the Fermentation Station running last night. Some sourdough starter for some bread trials, sauerkraut for brats this summer, and attempting a cultured cream for some cultured butter.

My first attempt at a sourdough marble rye. The loaf tasted good, but I am still going to tinker with it before I sell it.

Had some big bake days this last weekend where I had a few different sourdoughs on the menu, as well as some red velvet cinnamon rolls. Even with some oven issues, I managed to pull it off. #breadsky #sourdough #bread #charmtype

As an excuse to use my new mixer, I made a test batch of an adapted sourdough pain de mie recipe. The dough was silky soft, and the bread itself is tender, but still has a decent chew. It's amazing toasted.

Today's bake is a same-day sourdough loaf with a unique flavor inspired by lady.sourdough: tumeric and black pepper. The aroma of this loaf you could smell from across the house. I'm frantically waiting for it to cool down before diving in.

Here's the finished Earl Grey sourdough loaves hot from the oven. They cold fermented for nearly 48 hours. The aroma is amazing. You get the scent of the bergamot enhanced by the orange zest, and the blend of the warming spices is really a feast for the nose.

Trying an experimental run at an Earl Grey sourdough for a Christmas present for a tea loving family member of mine. The dough is infused with a small amount of cinnamon and vanilla, as well as some orange zest. It smells great.

A little late night bake for a few customers, and myself.
More fan favorite cranberry walnut loaves, and Originals, as well as some roasted garlic loaves that I had a craving for.
Sorry, everything is spoken for.

Experimented with a sourdough rye recipe to see if I could add it to my customer bake list. It was a nice, well balanced loaf and ended up having a good rise. Got 2 nice ears that I didn't expect too! #breadsky #sourdough #bread

I don't always stay in my sourdough lane. While I don't like making cakes for other people, I make them for my wife and kids' birthdays and have tried my hand at other yeasty treats.

Some of my kid's favorite bakes, a cinnamon brown sugar, and double chocolate. They're not too bad either, if I could say so myself.

One of my favorite loaves I've ever made. The deep caramelized crust contrasted with the golden brown interior, the scoring and blistering were perfect, a great ear. Never to be replicated again.
