Did you use stretch and fold and then the tension pull?

I stretch it, fold back in, turn it and repeat. And keep doing it until I can make a smooth ball. Then shape it, mark it and leave it to rise. I'm probably not that good at working the dough.

It does take practice!

I've decided to take a strange turn. I think this week I'd like to make a nice springy white sandwich bread (Yeast based). We don't particularly care for it, so I've never tried to make it. I'm thinking if I get the feel of the dough for a bread that comes out with the texture I'm looking for it will help me with my whole wheat bread. Who would like to suggest a good white sandwich bread (yeast based) recipe to try? Yes, I'm trying to get to a store bought texture.

@jnicholes ..I often use Pesto as a base seem to have allergy with tomato recently
so it is pesto but olive oil is the base
Basil Pesto
1 cup pine nuts
1 cup dried basil
3 fresh cloves or 2 tsp jarred
Salt and pepper
1 cup Parmesan cheese
I keep it in the freezer dry until I use then add as much olive oil as needed

I've put the starter only loaf in the oven as it was heading towards escaping over the sides. We shall see what comes of it... I need some deeper tins.

Looks ok but I don't know what the inside is like

 

[Floydie]

Not bad actually. I'll try this again.
