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

      http://bakingdom.com/2011/09/homemade-honey-oat-bread.html

      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.

                Day 4 for my starter. Been feeding it with rye alone for the last two days. It rises over night. No bubbles on the surface but I think that is because a crust forms. Looks like plenty of bubbles in it though, and it smells funky so I think it is doing OK… thoughts?

                      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!

                        Looks great Reuben. Doing baguettes today I think.

                              Not the most beautiful of shapes but it tastes very good and was very easy. I forgot to

                                    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

                                        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.

                                            I feel like like someone here should try salt rising bread, since you've all got the ordinary yeast rising bread mastered.

                                            Here's a recipe, if anytime is so inclined…
