ciabatta from the recipe in the handbook
I'm wondering if I should mist the sides of the oven before I bake ,or if there is another method I should use, or no steam at all.

I've been following the discussions about croissants and butter content and moisture levels in butter. And then I saw a container of ghee at the supermarket and said "Hmmm."
Ghee is something that I have never used. Since it is clarified butter, I suspect it's moisture content would be much lower than ordinary butter but have no clue what the analysis might be. Nor do I know how the melting, followed by separation of the solids, would affect flavor or handling characteristics.
Dear All
I have been working on a simple sourdough recipe based on the following ratio:
100% : 53% : 52% : 1.3%
flour:100% hydrated active starter:water:salt
After initial mixing, autolyse and a further mix I let the dough bulk prove for 2 hrs with 2 folds. The recipe I'm using then calls for the dough to be divided, pre-shaped, rested and then shaped and then retarded in the fridge in bannetons for about 12 hours.
Hi! I am searching for a recipe for caramel cake that has caramel sauce in it as well as more caramel sauce brushed on the hot cake. The caramel sauce is caramelized sugar and heavy cream. I saw it, I beleve, in one of the books in "The Best American Recipes" series edited by Fran McCullough et al. now I can't find it anywher. Any lead would be so appreciated. Thanks! K.
Soft crust
I want to thank every one the made suggestions or gave advice. I settled for starting the baking at a higher heat than I have done, then leaving the bread an extra 10 min with the door open and the oven turned off. This method gives me a nicer crust than I had before
Thanks again
