Bread - What are you baking today…..

@neph93:

So my first bread was 100%?

Amazing work gentlemen. I have some catching up to do.

If you didn't use any extra dry or fresh yeast… yes. With your Levain you rather won't need any extra yeast. I would be scared what this Levain does at night  :D... IT'S ALIVE  ??? ??? ???

Yessss

I set out to make an Irish Soda Bread, and unwittingly ended up with an Irish Flat Bread…..Note to self - more dry ingredients next time...

[neph93]

Tastes OK though?

Has anyone experienced a sourdough flopping after being allowed to proof too long? Mine has now doubled in size after a four hour proofing. I’m really afraid in won’t last until morning.

Not cut into it yet, but it smells great. (Smellovision, where are you, when we need you?)

Stick it in the fridge to slow it down.  You can put into oven straight out of the fridge…..

I'm up for all of them.  Number 2 sounds especially brilliant though…...

I’m bottling it and baking tonight.

EDIT: scratch that, I’m hedging my bets. Baking one now and I’ll leave the other for the morning. Worst case I have one good bread tomorrow. Best case I have two and can compare results.

It’s called a Lame. It’s French for….Lame

First loaf came out good:

On my way to bed I checked the second and the curve had  definitely flattened (I thank you), so that had to go in tonight also…

Irreverent Easter Sunday cross for good measure.
