Bread - What are you baking today…..

[neph93]

@Giles:

Decided to try out a Ciabatta for the first time.  The Poolish is brewing at the moment.

Looking forward to seeing that… Got a polish on myself. We're on "red level" here so most teaching is digital and everything else is closed. Knocking off a dough every other day!

[Giles]

I am not interested with with what you are doing with  Polish, sorry…

One would think, that a teacher of the English language would catch those subtle mistakes. 

[neph93]

Predictive typing error or fun and games with east Europeans? You may never know the truth of it….

[goosehd]

@neph93 Thank you for making me laugh. 

[Giles]

Nothing I like more than waking up to an overly active Polish….

(I did live in Eastern Europe for a long time  )

[neph93]

I’m just pleased I only had one Polish to take care of this morning. Sometimes there are ripe twins ready and waiting and they can be a real handful.

Final proofing….

[neph93]

A perfect pair!

My much less obscene Biga…

Not very happy with the crumb….It was supposed to be mega-holey.....Back to the drawing board....

Looks like your Polish ran out of steam 

[Giles]

Peaked too early….

[neph93]

How big are your Dutch ovens gents?

[Giles]

The largest I can buy…

Hmmm…. just bought 4 litre Sabor. The next size up is 6litre which seems unnecessary.

I use a 6.3 litre LeCreuset… but that's because I use it for big stews too. 4 litre should work well. The only thing is, if it is too small in diameter it might be difficult to get the bread in it when it's preheated

[Giles]

My Big Green Egg is 5.2 and my le Creuset is 5.3 or 6.7….

[neph93]

Hmmmm…. having buyers remorse. I guess I’ll just have to wait until it gets here and have a look at it.

Thanks for your help @Giles  @Chap
