English Cottage loaf and others
Hi,
I'm in the UK but we don't have such a good forum over here so hopefully you will be able to help me.
We have a small monthly market in our village and I'm hoping to help out with some baking as the previous lady has had to give up. I make my own bread by hand, using a sponge, left overnight and then adding more flour, salt, butter and milk/water. I also knead by the 'french' method as I have arthritis in my wrists and can't knead in the traditional method. I cook my bread in a tin (it fits the toaster better) My query if anyone can help is: can I use this type of dough/method to make other shapes of bread such as an English Cottage Loaf, Bloomer and White Cob?
If someone can get back to me real quick with some help I would appreciate it as I only have a week in which to perfect or NOT....!!! the perfect Cottage Loaf.
Thanks
