Transfering dough from a couche to a peel
Hi!
Can I have some suggestions for transfering risen dough from a couche to a peel?
I watched the video on MCS's website - the Back Home Bakery, I think it's called. I'll watch it again and again.
I lay my loaves between folds of the couche. So far, I've been bringing my peel toward the first loaf and trying to roll it onto the peel in the direction away from the other loaves (I hope you can picture what I'm describing!). The effect is causing the adjacent loaf to lift off and plonk down again. Does not look graceful (as in MCS's video)!
I'm thinking of trying to go the other way and roll each loaf in the direction of the other loaves.
Any other ideas?
Thankyou in advance.
