      The journey is the objective.

                @motojobobo get amongst it. The Forkish book is a great one stop shop for learning all you need to know, as long as you put the practical effort in. At this point I can make tasty bread with my eyes closed thanks to him. The fun comes from fucking around.

                  100% agree. Paula bought me Forkish a long long time ago. I was completely and utterly daunted and it sat on the shelf for years. Come the lockdowns and my determination to learn shit rather than sit around moping, I pulled the book down and concentrated. It seriously gives you such an amazing base of knowledge and understanding, that it is the perfect platform to move on from. I think the understanding bit is the key, I really understand what is going on at each stage, and that is what allows me to experiment (reasonably) successfully.

                      There’s defo something off with the recipe. It calls for 30min bake time at 200C. They’re barely browned at that point. So harder and faster next time.

                        I doubled up on the dough to make those cute little loaves from the other day, as I needed an excuse to use my new lamé. 100% hydration is the shizzle. Gonna try it with pizza dough next.

                          Looks great! I've been intrigued by making bread. Particularly love sourdough bread.
                          Only thing holding me back is taking on (yet another) time consuming hobby.
                          I'm sure I'll get to it at some point.

                            @JunkPants thank you! It’s a fascinating hobby. Some folks get really emotionally involved in a negative way, freaking out if they don’t get results, but I just find the whole process very therapeutic.

                                @steelworker in principle yes. About 10 months ago I would have considered using it for other purposes.

                                    Get Forkish, read it and do some experimentation, then major on Poolish, it's easy and does not require daily involvement and tastes great.

                                          I'd agree with G that Poolish and Biga can be as rewarding and as tasty as sourdough. And in my experience most people do not know the difference (although I can taste it from a mile off). I'm a massive fan of Forkish overnight white, which is a technique over method bread that is excellent for perfecting your moves.

                                          That being said I like the dirty, fungal messiness of sourdough.. and enjoy dicking around by making new starters with different bases. My life style, (Bukowski with better clothes at the moment), does allow for it.
