Im kinda getting a hang of this bread and i love it. Mixed by hand instead of a mixer which the recipe called for and did 4 stretch and folds at 30 mins interval. After that into the fridge it went for 4.5 hours (because i had to go out). Recipe called for it to be shaped before being retarded, if desired. pre shaped straight from fridge, benched for 30 minutes. Final proof for 45 mins before loading into oven with towel steam.
Colour looks so good! Nice bake.
your tips have ever since helped me get that bloom and ear...or half of it. Learnt that good pre-shaping, shaping and oven heat play a huge role in oven spring
Just perfect! Well done and happy baking.
nowhere near your whole grain breads! But try i shall!
him one to take back to Denver. I told him it wouldn't be as good looking though.....
I wish we could see the crumb. I think it is perfect for hearty sandwiches. Nice!
so no crumb shot....for now :)
