I built a giant Gravis GamePad and am working on USB adapters for old controllers. I beta-tested Secret Agent HD and UnDune2. I once made Toshiba mad at me over copyright. I post mostly #retrogaming, #3dprinting and #arduino stuff here.

My bread is a cube, your argument is invalid.
Turns out a 300g flour recipe will make a perfectly adequate 12cm cube of bread if you actually let it rise for long enough - this thing sat in the cube tin for about 90 minutes in the early spring sun.
I got one unnervingly perfect square of bread out of it before it started to bend under the force of being cut. Having solved the shape question, I now need to upgrade my bread knife to one that actually cuts.

Ok, several things to report here. This bread is sliced too thick, I should be getting eight slices instead of six out of a little loaf this size, and they're too chunky to cook properly in the jaffle iron. I need a better bread knife than an old IKEA one. The bread definitely needs to cube out in the pan, it's a little too short for this, and it should be softer.
Positive points: Fresh bread of your own making is divine, and gouda cheese is apparently great in a jaffle. Do recommend both.

Update: it looks like I spawned a 12cm cube in my kitchen and assigned it the "bread" texture.
A 300g premixed bag aaalmost reaches the top of the pan, so maybe I need to try 350g next time. Was hoping this would work as it's half a premixed packet from a box, but it looks like I'll have to do slightly more work than that.
This may yet prove totally sufficient however - the cube is currently cooling and will meet its fate later this evening.

In my search for the perfect #jaffle, I turned to Japan for help - shokupan, or milk bread, is made in square metal pans. Late last year I acquired a Tiger Crown model 2375 bread mold, which is capable of baking precise 12cm loaf-cubes of bread.
This is the correct tool for homemade jaffle bread. It fits perfectly, there's zero mess in the iron, and the jaffles snap apart flawlessly.
This is ISO Standard Australian white bread, and the recipe needs tweaking, but this is a milestone. #Australia
