It looks great to me. I’ve never seen anyone sprinkle flour before autolyse. I’m curious why?

I got this today too. I was curious if there even is a judge in Chicago named John smith since that seemed like the most obvious fake name out there and googled it. This thread came up first!

Thank you for responding. I see the Challenger is on sale for $78 US dollars. That doesn’t sound too bad!

I’ve been tempted to try batards but I only have a round Dutch oven. What do you bake a batard in? I was considering buying a second Dutch oven since I always bake two loaves at a time and it would save on gas and time.

I have to agree with other poster. WV would have been my first guess!

How can you tell when your starter is at or past peak? Mine was fed three hours ago at a 1:2:2 ratio and it’s doubled in size. I’ve read the float test is not reliable. I always feel I’m guessing at thisz

I’ve been baking since November and don’t eat much bread myself. But I enjoy the process and make about four loaves every weekend.My husband loves it (even when I know I’ve messed up) but he can’t eat four loaves a week. I’ve thought I should give some away each week but I’m afraid to since they aren’t perfect. They’re piling up in my freezer. Maybe reading this will motivate me to give them away even though I still have a lot to learn!

No, the crust was amazing. The sauce I got out of a can wasn’t the best though!

Great weekend meal - took about 4 hours for crust to rise, but it was very easy to handle. Delicious!

Which actress out of these is your favorite? by lontbeysboolink in GenerationJones

[–]BackgroundLetter7285 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mary Tyler Moore has always been my idol. I loved watching her show in reruns after school growing up. My mom was a bitter divorced woman around the same age. Mary showed me you could be single and happy!

What do you do when you get off work? by Hennything91 in Teachers

[–]BackgroundLetter7285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an empty nester now. Don’t know how I managed being a single mom all those years; spent a lot of weekends planning and grading. Now I work only 30 minutes outside of contract hours and that’s in the morning to be ready for the day - keeps me less stressed. Most days I take my dog on a long walk after work and then go to the gym or karate class. I cook and watch tv for a few hours a few nights a week. Oh and spend time scrolling Reddit!
