moving bastard loaves from bed to peel
When proofing an oblong loaf on a linen bed, how does one move the tender loaf from the linen to the peel? Proof seam-side up and flip directly onto the peel, or good side up and transfer with a flipping board?
I ask, because my experience tells me that, left to my own devices, I'll do things backwards. I am reminded of my recovery from GBS, when the therapists were telling me to use the cane on my strong side when all logic (wrong, I might add) was telling me to use the cane on the weak side. Think Dr House and his bad leg. Neither of us paid any mind to the expertise of the physical therapist, though I have since seen the light. I'd like to avoid doing things the hard way vis à vis baking.
cheers,
