That boule looks good. Nice and dark ^

I could use some advice. I was given some starter dough. I've been feeding it twice a day for a week, and want to start on a bake, but I haven't any bread flour (not sure I want to go hunting around shops for it tbh). However, I do have some GF Plain Flour. Should I give that a go for a first bake, or will I be throwing myself into a suicidal battle?

Personally, I'd hang onto the GF flour in case you need to make something specifically GF. Trying to use GF flour in place of bread flour is likely going to be a messy and frustrating affair, and will likely end up being a waste of flour. Gluten free bread baking is a bit of a dark art tbh.

Ah yeah, that's what I feared. Right, will hold out for some bread flour. Thanks for the advice.

Update: Obtained some bread flour at lunch, let's bake this thing!
