WOW!!
Well, I used my couche, bread flipper and burn prevention gloves for the first time this morning. Oh, WOW! I cannot believe how beautiful the bread is turning out.
I am a bit clumsy with flipping the loaves directly onto the baking stone, and I made the first five loaves a little too long. One of them has a bent tip where it was too long for the baking stone.
The texture is unbelievable! Take a look at these pics.

You have always been so talented at bread baking. Hope the mixers are working and the double oven is still going strong for you.
ReplyDeleteThis stove was a challenge, but I finally know how to tweak it so that I get good bread. I use the small oven for proofing the dough, the large one for baking on the stone. I get such a buzz out of baking bread.
DeleteYou always did. It was fun watching u making it. I haven't made any in a few years. Need to though get out of my slump.
