      Way to go everyone. FYI I bought the kindle version of Ken Forkish’s book. It’s easy to use in that form as well. Even easier if you use an iPad as opposed to iPhone etc.

      Thx for info @Matty123 the kindle version can be viewed on an Apple iPad? Or do I need a Kindle?

        Maybe so. Maybe not

          Oh wow, that's fluffy. Congrats @Giles I need that recipe!

          When you get Forkish, it is "White Bread With Poolish"…..

              As I have mentioned to @Chap before.  I do not knead (nor do I use a machine to mix), the Ken Forkish method eschews kneading.  He teaches the pincer method combined with folding.  And because kneading bores me rigid, I like him…... 🙂

              Need bores me rigid too  😶

              Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
              Well, I have others.

                            Rather than discard any when I fed it, I made some spring onion bready pancakes with the excess levain….
