            Not bread, but classic cinnamon rolls. I’ve never had such luck with my rising today. I must have actually kneaded enough this time. A good 8 minutes with the kitchen aid.
            Anyway here are some pics of the rising and the crumb at the end.

                Me too, but seeing all of the bread here makes me want to bust out the dutch oven and make a couple of boules!

                  Never tried to make some… but definitely should, they look yummy

                      Sort of same, same…. 50% Poolish, 50% white/50% spelt

                      But I screwed up either the amount of water (too much) or amount of flour (too little) that I added to the final mix.  The hydration was far too high, so I bunged in fistfuls of dark rye until I got the hydration to sort of where it should have been.....

                        Lovely bread anyway… and the rye will add a nice taste. The Greeny seems to do a great job!

                          White poolish and white Biga. Both lovely buht the Poolish splits and has a much more bubbly airy crumb. No idea why…

                              @Chap  If my severance package from the local council was up there with what Forkish got from Yahoo or wherever he worked, I might give that ago. Sadly it won’t be.

                              Joking aside, there is another thing, I have no idea how good my bread is, objectively. There aren’t really any artisan bakers where I live and no one else I know makes bread like I do.

                              All that being said, I have idly day dreamed about this. My town is ready for it, there are a better class of restaurant here than there was 10years ago too. @Matty123 living the pizza dream is also a source of inspiration.

                                I know… I am sure your bread tastes amazing. During lockdown I baked a lot and tried to improve my breads. To much bread for our small family so I gave some to friends, neighbours aso. Still meet people asking me why I don't start selling bread... and that was in my early days  :D. Really good bread is hard to find these days... in Austria too, but everyone loves good bread. You can start it as a tiny business and see what happens. Then Instagram, Youtube, your first book  :P...

                                        Yea–-I can see myself eating all of your bread.I would start off keeping things nice and simple.
                                        Warm with butter to start.....and then, slice by slice getting progressively experimental.

                                          Bread - what am I buying today… I always buy sourdesem breads through my hippy store... There's a handful of bakeries but hundreds of styles to choose from... All organically made, they weigh like fucking bricks, and the best thing is you can't even have your heavy breads cut at his store... His machine can't handle 'm... I gotta go to my store where we have an industrial machine, and cut 'm there...

                                          Here's some German style... A Munster and an Emmerlinger (walked into a bar):
