Das Unit Converter - good for baking!
Forums:
I found this nice piece of free software - Das Unit Converter - on the internet and have been using it for a few weeks now. For baking, the weight and volume sections are particularly useful to me.

Sponging
Forums:
Hello again! Its me with another question. :) I'm always asking questions and never answering anyones, though I really do appreciate the answers I got. Thanks to all who commented.
What I would like to know is what exactly does sponging do? And I read in a bread recipe that sponging makes whole wheat bread lighter, and a little more airy. I've never sponged anything. I'd love to make sourdough bread, but alas I've no sourdough starter so it will have to wait. :) I will sometime though.

My First Attempt at Homemade Italian Bread
Forums:
Here are some pictures of my first attempt at homemade italian bread. Turned out much better than I was expecting. The bread is a little denser than I like and the crust isn't quite cruncy enough but all in all a good first try.

Technical Help on producting a blog - how to save/edit
Forums:
I am a blog virgin! Trying desperately to create my first blog. I can now insert pictures and texts BUT can anyone tell me how to edit and save a text which I intend to work more on before publishing it. It seems that either I have to log out of TFL and lose what I have created thus far or if I do 'save', doesn't that publish the document automaticlly, hence I am sending for all to read a document only half (if that!) done. HELP!

preparing banneton's for first use
Forums:
Hello,
I have a couple bannetons that I am planning on using for the first time tomorrow. I have read that I should spray them with baker's joy/baking grease and place them in a 200*F oven before the first use. Is this accurate? I am worried about ruining them and Baker's Joy has flour in it that could go bad or mold over time.
Thanks for the input!

Very sour sandwich bread; what to do?
Forums:
I make sourduogh sandwich bread because hubby and little man like to have sandwiches for lunch. My SD usually doesn't taste very sour; bwteen the 4th and 6th day it does develop a very subtle but nice sour flavor. The loaf doesn't last more than a week so don't know if the sourness will continue to develop after that.
