  1. Homie imma keep it real, unsifted flour did not cause that.

    Hmm. I think you may have forgotten a few other things.

    Unsifted flower makes possessed wallpaper paste, good to know.

    Cut it in half, it’s a gummy gelled brick. There are multiple problems.

    Not enough water, you’re not fooling anyone.

  7. I don’t think the flour not being sifted caused this Cronenberg monster

    May I ask what I am supposed to be looking at?

    I literally never sift flour. That is not what happened.

    this has to be old yeast? old flour? old everything?

    Respectfully, you forgot to do a lot of things.

    I didn’t sift my flour one time and my cousin got pancreatic cancer. I’d say you got off lucky.

    You said 1 of 3 loaves turned out like this, and your measurements are in cups. Always use grams when baking. Your “cups” are not coming out the same size. Totally normal, that’s why bakers use grams.

    I thought this was an open baked potato

    I can’t tell if that’s macaroni and cheese or a cake

    I… I don’t know if I believe you…

    Going by the recipe you posted, I suspect you’re going for some kind of sweet, brioche-esque bread. The flour sifting is definitely not the problem here: even when baking cake, sifting flour doesn’t have that big of an impact.

    I suspect you didn’t properly knead/mix the dough (maybe because it was too dry?). Even with little hydration and basically dead yeast, proper handling should let you at least get a somewhat consistent crumb. I’m pretty sure this dough would’ve looked weird before the baking even started to turn out like this.
