      @goosehd:

      First attempt unsupervised and need to work on the surface tension.  Tomorrow morning I’ll cut it open to see how it turned out.

      I think that looks great, did you have trouble creating the surface tension, I cant tell from looking at the loaf?  Get a vid of @Chap doing it, he's the master…..

      Awesome @goosehd if I think of my first attempts  😶 😃 everything I know about baking bread I learnt from Mr Padmore and Mr Forkish

        Actually turned out better than I thought it would:

        Thank you so much for the lesson.  Now time to work on technique.  🙂

          Looks pretty good, well done.  I think you have large holes in the middle because you did not leave enough time for bulk fermentation. I leave mine until it's given up increasing in volume (hence the marker pen marks on the side of my fermentation bowl)….

            I was curious about why that happened.  I felt my yeast was slow to act yesterday and I was trying to stick to the 30:30:60 times instead of going by size and feel.

            It’s tastes good but just a little dense.

              Stuffed with a sausagemeat stuffing I forgot to photograph

              I have got a litre of turkey stock and some herbs and veg in the pan under it, going to wrap in foil and steam to start then uncover and pump the heat to try and brown the skin

                    My typical Thanksgiving, starts with Butternut Squash soup.   Dining room table, not shown kitchen table.    Mashed potatoes and Brussel sprouts.  Sausage Dressing / stuffing /  filling. it wasn't in the bird.    Spoon bread / corn casserole.    Turkey      Cucumber salad    Williamsburg salad.    Not pictured was all the drinks and Pumpkin Pie.

                      I say this every year, that you put in about 2 days of prepping / cooking for this meal, and your finished eating it in about 45 minutes, maybe less excluding the desert. But it still is my favorite holiday.

                          Turkey was good, would definitely do the method I used this year again

                            I loved looking at all this. Regardless of the historical issues, a winter feast is never wrong and the food always makes my mouth water.

                                          Doing my turkey 2 days late. Started out in a wet brine for 24hours with just kosher salt and sugar. My son made a spice rub to coat the turkey,and the same rub will be used later on to make a compound butter,which will be used to coat the turkey before it’s wrapped. Hope to wrap at about 135 degrees. Started off at 44 degrees. Big chunk of Apple wood for the smoke and,as always bourbon in the drip pan.

                                            Made Bombay Potatoes this evening (pretty traditional method), but had a load of focaccia dough in the fridge that needed using, so I melted some ghee and brushed it with that instead of olive oil, than used garlic powder and cumin seeds on it. Focaccina’an?

                                            It was super tasty with the sauce on the potatoes.
