Bread - What are you baking today…..

[Chap]

Bravo Monsieur Padmore! Ça a l'air bon!

[Giles]

Thought that I needed a straight bladed lame as well as the curved one I have.

One piece of dowel, a razor blade and 2 zip ties and voila….....

I just put a slit at the end of the dowel with a sharp knife and a small hammer, stuffed the blade into the slit and zipped it in place....

Bravo! Nice job with that baking tool . 

Now we need OGL to make a nice sheath for these to avoid accidents while stored.

[Giles]

Got plenty of leather in the office and a walking foot machine, will make a sheaf tomorrow….

[Matty123]

I e had this one for years. Works good.

[Chris]

You've got a walking foot machine?  Damn, I'm envious. Been wanting one of those for a while, but can't justify it to the wife yet.

[Giles]

We use the walking foot for hemming chinos and work pants….

Got my dad to join the fun. He’s genuinely excited about it, thanks y’all!

[Giles]

Great, the more the merrier.  We'll all get better as a result…

Today, I am doing an 80% Biga white bread….

That's a bit of luck.

Came into the office to look for leather scraps, and found this…..

My ad-libbed lame in its ad-lib lame mount

But what do guys think about my super-nerdy bread paddle?

[Giles]

I have a bread paddle (Peel) somewhere in the house from when I last made bread, but it has got misplaced during the new kitchen build.  And it's driving me mad not being able to find it…...

[Giles]

Found it in the fishing room, why on earth did I not think of looking in there earlier  ??? ??? ??? ?

[Giles]

Now, safely hung on the side of a kitchen cupboard close to the oven.  That'll cause Paula to flip, if she notices it…..

[Chap]

That’s a beautiful peel 

[Giles]

Nice stove 

[Giles]

And my Forkish 80% Biga white bread.  I am still not happy with my ability to create the right amount of tension when shaping…...
