Bread - What are you baking today…..
-
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

-
mine is 7 qt. Rueben. I bet you'll want bigger to add to the one on the way.

By the sound of things, I’ll need something bigger for cooking, but for bread then the 4l will be fine.
While you’re there Jeff, I assume when Americans talk about quarts they are talking about US quarts? I notice there is a slight difference between them and imperial quarts…
-
@neph93 yes I'm talking US quarts, but I can throw Liters into that too, and probably your imperial quart.
32 oz., 2 pints, 4 cups, 1/4 gallon, 1000 milliliters.
dutch oven, covered wagon, le creuset, on my way…
@chap that pizza looks great. what type of chile, and do you roast it whole on the pizza? Do you have access to Calabrian chile's there? They are a bit hard to find here, but when i do, they go on my pizzas.

Not all bananas are created equal. ::) ???

…on my Le Creuset's there is a number on the underside of the lids.
...#26 = 5.5 quart or 5.3 litre
...#30 = 9 quart or 8.4 litre
...these are 'round' dutch ovens.

Thanks gents @vaquero357 @jordanscollected You’ve helped me get a sense of what is on the way to me. I’ll be needing a bigger one in the future for sure, but I now feel confident that 4 liter will work for my bread baking for now.

Alright gals and gents, I am thinking of taking up bread making as part of some new hobbies I am incorporating into my life. What are the items I need to get the party started? Looking for a 1 maybe 2 loaves a week production and most interested in making sourdough. Thanks!

Personally, I would not bother starting with Sourdough. It's all super hipster, but is a commitment and requireds more discipline than I can muster. I stick with Biga and Poolish which are both preferments.
Buy Forkish's book. Flour, Water, Salt, Yeast and do what he says….
