The 3-Kilo Boule

Toast

Hi Everyone..

After a last summer break, I'm back to baking my way through Forkish's FWSY. I'm not on page 162 and his idea of baking a 3-Kilo boule using his 'overnight country blonde'.  Well, this is one of those times when you ask yourself: "just because I can, should I?"

Has anyone given this a go? I'm tempted. I obviously couldn't eat the thing alone. But thankfully just about everyone I know loves bread so I'll share..

What do you think?

Thanks for the input!

this is the only bread in the book that he says you should try to make the large boule without a d/o.. it would be fun, but it is a beast.. lets see how it goes, not sure yet..

in a Wood fired Oven.

And then on to the full 6kg for a Thanksgiving sized dinner!

Hope you have a big enough oven. If you can, and you do, i'd love to see the result.

Two 1.5 kilo loaves would be a safer bet, in my opinion.  My concern is that the huge loaf might look lovely on the outside but be not fully cooked inside.   A three+ pound boule is still an impressive loaf to photograph!
