Method for soft wholemeal rolls?

[Emmie]

I love a darker loaf - that almost burnt taste. You can buy them in supermarkets:

Sainsbury's online Grocery Shopping and Fresh Food Delivery

www.sainsburys.co.uk

But they never quite taste the same as a proper bakery or home made one.

Now that @retired baker mentioned the smoking brown loaves.

One of the oldest bakery around.
They purposely burn the crust and slice the crust away for the customer. All round soft, spongy and slightly chewy bread.

Oh wow, though I must say I’d be in the market for buying bags of those crusts!

hi @Emmie
they will likely let you have it without cost and maybe a side of chiding about carcinogens!

Americans notoriously under bake. It is so frustrating because the caramelization brings out the flavor in the baked goods. Walk into most bakeries is here and everything is pale. Pie crust, cookies, bread, all have no color. When I bake for someone new, if I forget to explain a European baking or a “hard bake” they will inevitably say that I’ve burnt it.

Haha, yes! Fortunately in the UK our Food Standards Agency requires bakeries to implement acrylamide mitigation. Still tasty though!
