@Giles very nice. We’ve established there’s wine on the right, but what’s on the left?

Thank you. Took me a few attempts to dial it in. But I think I've got it now.

The Danish Rye Bred that I am doing for the first time though, is a completely different story. The recipe was American so used the antediluvian measuring system of cups (what the fuck is a cup, you ask), I ballsed up my conversions to gms, so the dough was so wrong, it could not have been worse. I've chucked a pint of beer into it and that has got it a texture I am assuming is correct, it is now quietly fermenting in a corner. Whether I have managed to rescue it or not remains to be seen....

@Giles do you have a nice recipe for a Focaccia?

[Giles]

I dont do Focaccia I am afraid - well, not yet....

[endo]

any suggestions then for a tasty bread (no too difficult to be done) to have with cheese, olives, red wine ... etc?

[pechelman]

@endo We started messing around with focaccia last Fall. We just used this recipe:

https://www.emmafontanella.com/no-knead-focaccia

Done it twice, and it's turned out great both times...the only real tweaks we made was cooking it a little less than recommended...we like a a nice doughy soft bite. Unfortunately I don't have any money shots of the loaf cut open though.

Pretty easy recipe, takes a bit of time...but most of it is non-active, and just letting it rise and rest.

OK. Now need to work on my Focaccia game.....
