Bread...something new.

Top, top find, Jim. The big plastic bowl I was using to 'prove' my pizza dough was crap. This looks good. I've seen them use these at Paul - the fancy french bakery chain in London.

You should be okay with plastic bowl for first prove Rocky, just cover with cling film or stick it in a plastic bag. I still use one myself and place it in a supermarket plastic bag for the over night prove but will use the woven basket for the second prove.

Why does Rocky keep calling you Jim???

Why does Rocky keep calling you Jim???

I was wondering that. Perhaps that's his name and he's too polite to correct us when we call him Tony? :?

We both belong to a Trecky forum, I'm his Jim he's my Uhuru.

That's strange. I'm on weloveneighboursforum.com as Jim. Jim Robinson that is!!

I saw the new Star Trek over Xmas, no way Uhuru would cop off with a first officer.

Thought I'd give this a go :hungrig
It looks good, it smells good it sounds good
Let's see how it tastes when it's cooled

 

[antdad]

...that does look good.

 

[tubby_shaw]

I'll be making this again :hungrig

It has a very pleasing crumpet like crumb.
I will though reduce the amount of salt a little next time

 

[antdad]

That looks like a very good crumb too...if you do want an even crispier crust/drier crumb just cook for longer it's a very forgiving method/recipe.

 

[hunnymonster]

1g of "easy bake" (which I assume is the iron filings type)

 

[antdad]

Mix all dry Ingrd > Add Water > Dough into oiled bowl + cling film and resting at Room temp for 12 hours

I'd leave it for longer if you can (18 -24 hrs) More time for the gluten to form and flavour to develop, should be bubbly and stringy. I'm heating the oven for a loaf right now as it happens.

Forget the regular masochists method Rocky, see my signature.

I went on Bertinet's bread course in Bath, got the books and the t shirt. It's up to you but let's say I don't use his method any more.
