      @popvulture you’ll be glad to know that not only am I back to baking, I’m also able to double entendres pretty much anything again… and there’s a “your mum” joke in there that I’m struggling to avoid making.

            @neph93 …in said pictures, will you be applying copious amounts of butter, jams, and cheeses to these buns?

                                @goosehd I missed this. Sorry mate. It's the standard Forkish levain with the amounts slightly tweaked downwards, to scale, to limit waste.

                                I'm currently trying to ween it over to a white starter but temps in my flat are a problem.

                                  I'm going to make the classic mistake of announcing what I'm about to attempt for the first time, before attempting it, so my inevitable failure will be demonstrated either through honest documentation or the lack of any updates during the day.

                                  I am trying to make pan de cristal for the first time. For those that don't know it is a 100% hydration Catalonian bread, similar to ciabatta, but mo' badass. Wish me luck.

                                    The next statement likely fits perfectly on to the Dunning-Kruger scale…

                                    After the autolyse and initial mix and fold, it appears to be going well, and is not as difficult as I imagined.

                                          The recipe called for allowing each bread to rest uncovered without support for 2 hours. That, frankly, has to be bollocks. I know what happens to 70% hydratiom dough if its left without support for two hours. Great for focaccia but not for this. So I legged it down the ironmongers…
