      @Giles:

      Gave Alex and Kira a loaf, gave the people over the green who are self-isolating a loaf.  Two more being made as I type.  I'll be able to find people to take it off my hands….

      Wish I were your neighbor! Avocado season is in full swing here and every time I see these loaves I picture and can almost taste them this way

      Keep it up!

      The journey is the objective.

            Giles What mix/method did you use for your bread starter?

            Maybe so. Maybe not

              I am currently not using the starter I am using shop-bought yeast granules.  The starter is currently in the fridge, I think it's ready now.  I'll take it out of the fridge sometime early to mid next week and try a Poolish, Biga or Sourdough, not decided yet.

              I used this method, but used water initially not pineapple juice….

              I'm not 100% sure I am happy with the result, so I may revert to the Ken Forkish method.  I am using his recipes for my bread, so it makes sense....

                  Alex and I came into a tiny bit of money when my poor old mum died a few years ago.  We both bought a set of Finex with the cash, as we knew it would be a lasting reminder of her.

                              Put the sauce on top of the cheese. And use less sauce than you think you need. That will be just enough. Set oven to as hot as it goes. Cook the pizza fast. Not sure if this advice is welcome but I hope it helps

                                      I urge you to buy this:

                                      Supplement it with watching his YouTube vids to see him using some of the techniques.

                                      Follow his advice to the letter and you will not fail…..
