The 3-Kilo Boule
Hi Everyone..
After a last summer break, I'm back to baking my way through Forkish's FWSY. I'm not on page 162 and his idea of baking a 3-Kilo boule using his 'overnight country blonde'. Well, this is one of those times when you ask yourself: "just because I can, should I?"
Has anyone given this a go? I'm tempted. I obviously couldn't eat the thing alone. But thankfully just about everyone I know loves bread so I'll share..
What do you think?
Thanks for the input!

...it off. Should make a great photo too. But doesn't Forkish say you should use a DO? Do you have one big enough?
this is the only bread in the book that he says you should try to make the large boule without a d/o.. it would be fun, but it is a beast.. lets see how it goes, not sure yet..
in a Wood fired Oven.
And then on to the full 6kg for a Thanksgiving sized dinner!
Hope you have a big enough oven. If you can, and you do, i'd love to see the result.
Two 1.5 kilo loaves would be a safer bet, in my opinion. My concern is that the huge loaf might look lovely on the outside but be not fully cooked inside. A three+ pound boule is still an impressive loaf to photograph!
will post the results!

...and didn't look edible.
