Ahh, I think thats what I have been missing. I did the overnight proof and all the folding and window, cast iron to bake on, steam pan ect, but I didnt do the final rise in the fridge! I bet that's why it hasn't been right.

I don’t even bother with a stream pan - I just pop it into a Dutch oven.

Are you prepared for a power outage? They said on the news that 1/2" of ice can weigh 500 pounds on a power line.

We don't have an auxillary source of heat. In the 20 years we've lived in this house we've only had one power outage more than a couple hours, and it was about 12 hours during a hurricane.

As I see it, there's no sense in spending money on a once in 20 years (or more) event. So I don't have a gas or kerosene heater.

Our powerlines are buried, too.

Thanks for your concern.
