Talking about baking disasters, I was making a Whole wheat bread and I wanted to give the yeast an early start before adding the salt ( which can retard growth). I added the sugar , yeast, some wheat flour, butter and water, mixed, covered and let stand for 30 minutes. When bubbly, I added the rest of the flour and let the dough rise. It rose beautifully, nice and light. I degassed it, shaped it and put it in a loaf pan. I let it rose until crowning the pan slightly,( and again, it rose beautifully). Baked the bread (smelled heavenly) When it was cool enough, I cut it( beautiful texture- NO TASTE. Oops!
