first loaf report:
Made a super simple no-knead loaf that I left to ferment overnight and baked in a dutch oven. Didn't have quite enough strong bread flower left so make up the quantities with 00 pasta flour (which had an element of semolina in it i think). Not sure the dough was quite up to room temp when it went into the oven as it didn't quite have the open texture I was hoping for. Was very delicious though, lovely soft elastic crumb and crunchy crust.
Loaf two is doing its final rise now. Did the same super simple mix (this time with all white bread flour) and upped the ante with some sourdough style turns and a final fold and shape. It looks a fair bit more aerated than number one and will be room temp as well so I'm hopeful this will be an improvement.
