Hi all!
I've had the craving for baking some bread for days now, but unfortunately had a cold and wasn't feeling up to much of anything apart from sitting on the sofa with some Lemsip and a DVR full of bad telly.
Anyhoo, I'm in much better condition today, and currently have 1KG of dough proofing. Meanwhile, I thought I'd share the pics of the work in progress.

You've got a nice smooth
You've got a nice smooth dough there. What's the formula? How long did you knead it?
Thanks.
Recipe is...
1kg flour
20g salt (I reduce this by 50%)
10g yeast (I use about 1.25tbs re-activated yeast)
water
I knead for about ten min.
Thanks!
Oh dear...fingers crossed!
My loaves rose beautifully! Very pillowy soft and felt absolutely perfect.
But they stuck to the chopping boards quite a bit, despite the generous dusting of flour I thought I'd given. Obviously not enough!
:-(
Perhaps this is a sign it's time to invest in a peel? I'm very nervous about how they'll turn out...but they're in th'oven now!
