Bread

Cheers. Proofing basket a necessity or could you just whack it a mixing bowl and cover?

I proof in a salad bowl with kitchen towel layer invetween.

You could line a bowl with a floured tea towel but a basket definitely helps and they're pretty cheap.

Thanks both. And then you cover it with something non-breathable like a Tupperware?

Overnight you just mix everything together and leave in something airtight (that's where I use a tuppaware as it isn't shaped at this stage). When proving after you've shaped you can just cover with a cloth or similar. I use a shower cap as it fits over the top of my baskets perfectly.

Today's No Knead

Sometimes I really labour over making bread. But yesterdays bake was thrown into a bowl and then given the minimum of fuss. I’d say it’s my best so far.

Fridge overnight or countertop?

Countertop in a tupaware.

Then shaped and put in a basket with a shower cap over it while it proves.

anyone given up on sourdough and got a proofing basket/banneton/dough scrape/the whole kit to shift?

The seeds in my seeded malt flour have sprouted.

Weaval?

🤮

Extra protein, will make for better gluten?

And added crunch

More mouthfeel.

Anyone have any experience with using a Kenwood chef with the aftermarket spiral attachment available on eBay etc rather than the rather rubbish old Kenwood supplied dough hook? Thanks.

No knead loaf today ready to be sliced,bagged and frozen.

Quick 10hr sourdough whilst getting on with other jobs yesterday, added a bit more water than I usually would and got the best crumb in while. Not the best flavor though.

Have switched back to no knead after just combining with the mixer and getting much better results. Just have to not forget it's proving on the side.

Made some great Foccacia today. Really really pleased, excellent texture and very easy recipe.
