Bread - What are you baking today…..
-
After starting to read this book today, I realized that I had lunch in Ken's Artisan Bakery about a year and a half ago, in Portland. Book is very informative. I forgot to mention that it was excellent, I had a Croque Monsieur and we took some breads and deserts to take to our friends home.

I baked some honey oat bread, based on this recipe today.

It didn't come out as well as some of the loaves on this thread. It's a bit stodgy, but it's the first time I've baked in a while, so hopefully I can do a better job next time.

no such thing as bad bread Graeme … Looks real good from here.. enjoy it
-
^^Tell me about it.^^
All these lovely loaves you're making I thought i'd give it a go….Cant get strong flour and to be honest any flour anywhere.

I will be separating a dollop of starter out this evening (thus halving the cycle), and feeding it, then starting my a bread the next day. No locally available flour with more than 12% protein @ROman so that will have to do.
I’m probably going to let it proof overnight so it is ready to bake on Saturday morning. Easter in isolation ftw!

Not the most beautiful of shapes but it tastes very good and was very easy. I forgot to
Score them so they ripped where they may.

You should talk your breads belong in a bakery window!

I recommend as big as a pizza stone that can fit in your oven. And parchment paper. And steam is key to baguettes. I preheated the oven with the pizza stone and a cast iron skillet inside. I had boiling water ready right when I put the dough in the oven and I poured that water in to the skillet and closed the door as quickly as possible. I added water one more time about ten minutes in

OK… thanks. Will try it at the weekend. Baguette seems to be the holy grail of bread baking...
It doesn’t seem that hard to me. I’ve made them in the past and they looked better but didn’t taste this good. I’m very happy with outcome. Yes make baguettes.
