Baking in the bowl...
Sooooo...
I have been working on my sourdough. I always have trouble with my round loaf flattening out, my dough tends to be a little over hydrated and surface tension is an issue. But I like the lighter crumb I get with the hydrated dough (I am sure I have lots of areas for improvement, I will get there).
Recently I had a minor epiphany about my bowls. I have three medium sized Pyrex mixing bowls, I figured if I let my loaves proof in those bowls I could just bake in them. I think it may be cheating, but the sourdough I made last week came out phenomenal (ate it too fast to take a picture lol). That time was a bit ad hoc so today I will bake actually PLANNING to use the bowls thus. They are proofing at the moment and look good. This round is 50% WW so it will be different then the last one, but I will be happy to get a similar tall beautiful result.

That is the dough proofing, I will add a pic after I bake it because it is amusing the heck out of me =)
