Starting to get the hang of things

Toast

 


 

 

So its been nearly 2 months since I started my bread baking revelation and I think I'm starting to get the hang of things. This is a shot of my daily bread I bake, which is basically the 5min a day french boule recipe with some added preferment. My crumb is still not super impressive. A few gas pockets, but not as many as I would like. But the taste is superb and its only getting easier and easier and seems like less and less work each time. Now I just need to get myself a proper bread baking book and start expanding my horizons.

The crumb is quite nice, but I have been trying to get that pourous "big hole" crumb and not really succeeding. Ag well, just got to keep trying. Next time I'll take a picture of the crumb and you can see what I mean.
