The road to make these was weirder than usual. I haven't made bread in a long time, but got the itch after the Water episode of Cooked on Netflix.
I got some starter going earlier this week, and that progressed really well. Last night i realized that i had plenty of quite active starter, and made a batch of dough. This morning it had risen like a champ, and since i was going in to work late anyway, thought i'd bake it. I made loaves and started the oven to preheat.
The electrician was coming to install some undercabinet lights (viz https://mltshp.com/p/1B4CO), and that should have been about a 30-minute job, but when he got here i realized that power to the oven was off. I've never before had a problem with the oven, and it was on a circuit he had newly wired about 3 weeks ago.
The oven is a different circuit than the lights, so he worked on the lights and i tried to troubleshoot the oven. To complicate matters, once installed, the LED undercabinet lights were occasionally flickering, which only added to the electrical oddities.
All this time i have bread sitting in the oven that i can't bake.
Eventually we figured out that all of the new circuits and switches were fine, the problems were totally coincidental: a bad transformer for the lights, and bad ignitor for the oven.
The electrician installed a new transformer, i got a new oven part (from my handy neighborhood appliance parts store), and installed it, and now i have both freshly baked bread, and useful undercabinet lighting.
the end.
