New to Fresh Loaf
Hello All, I am new to this site and have found it very informative. I have been away from baking for a little while and returned this week to try the 1,2,3 formula I found here. The dough ended up a littlte to loose for my liking but tasted great. The pictures below of those loaves. The pictures at the bottom are from my 2nd batch baked Saturday morning with a much better shape.
Saturdays Baking:
The one thing I've noticed is that I'm having no problem getting voluteers to take some of this bread off my hands.
Batch 3 is in the fridge now to bake in the morning.

Welcome to TFL and nice baking. The 1-2-3 formula is one of my favorites, too and I base a lot of my recipes on it.
All the best,
Syd
The 1-2-3 formula worked well for you. Loose is good because higher hydration usually results in a more open crumb and blisters, which you got with your very nice looking loaves.
