I only posted it to everyone because I feel that we ALL need to be more careful.

However, if I made a mistake doing this, I apologize.

You made no mistake, I'm talking about the article @Floydie was upset about.

You're okay.

 

[Ladies-Eight]

I agree.

Amen!!!

Why can't you very easy to do ? Yeast or eggs.

Every time I try it looks like a brick and feels like one also.

Try doing a few rolls then .. Hot water should not be above 110. Use 2 eggs 2 table spoons sugar.. 1 tsp of salt and couple cups of flour till it pulls from the bowl.

Got up at 6:30 to do the final steps and then put my sourdough rye in the oven. The dough handled beautifully. It did it’s second rise in the oval banneton and looked amazing. But all I have to bake those kinds of breads in is a round Dutch oven. It sorta lost its shape.….not bad, it’s still a loaf (kinda), but it looks a little like it got stepped on. It spread out a bit in the Dutch oven.

That’s IT!!! I’m tired of spending two days on a bread just to put it in the wrong baking vessel and have it come out looking funny! I’m getting a clay bread baker. Any halfway affordable recommendations? I gotta say that the texture and flavor are wonderful. But it doesn’t look like it should.
