Bread - What are you baking today…..

[Giles]

Great, the more the merrier.  We'll all get better as a result…

Today, I am doing an 80% Biga white bread….

@motojobobo:

Bravo! Nice job with that baking tool . 

Now we need OGL to make a nice sheath for these to avoid accidents while stored.

That's a bit of luck.

Came into the office to look for leather scraps, and found this…..

My ad-libbed lame in its ad-lib lame mount

But what do guys think about my super-nerdy bread paddle?

[Giles]

I have a bread paddle (Peel) somewhere in the house from when I last made bread, but it has got misplaced during the new kitchen build.  And it's driving me mad not being able to find it…...

[Giles]

Found it in the fishing room, why on earth did I not think of looking in there earlier  ??? ??? ??? ?

[Giles]

Now, safely hung on the side of a kitchen cupboard close to the oven.  That'll cause Paula to flip, if she notices it…..

[Chap]

That’s a beautiful peel 

[Giles]

Nice stove

And my Forkish 80% Biga white bread.  I am still not happy with my ability to create the right amount of tension when shaping…...

Paula tells me I have a bread making issue.......But tomorrow, I will do a loaf-drop excursion and leave some loaves on the doorsteps of some of our elderly friends (yes, there are one or two older than me in Gos Vegas....) doorsteps...

That’s an exceedingly decent thing to do. Will be a bright spot in their day, no doubt.
