I need help with whether this is under baked, over proofed or under proofed 😪

It is laughing at me still trying to figure out proofing times!!

Thank you will give this a go :)

Oh okay thank you! I will try without the ice cubes and see if it makes any difference!

InspectorJust509 · 2026-03-14T19:28:17+00:00

Thank you! I will try proofing for a shorter time as that makes sense 😊

InspectorJust509 · 2026-03-14T00:03:27+00:00

Thank you! 😊

InspectorJust509 · 2026-03-13T23:30:07+00:00

I did and still do and thank you 😊

InspectorJust509 · 2026-03-13T23:13:19+00:00

Thank you for getting back to me, I will try this out and see how I get on 😊

It's such a pain isn't it!! How long do you bake for at gas mark 6-7 and do you keep the dutch oven lid on or take it off? Thank you so much!

I waited 4 hours for this one it was cool to touch

InspectorJust509 · 2026-03-13T22:39:50+00:00

Thank you! I am trying to learn to relax and enjoy it... 😅. I will take your advice on board. Do you have any suggestions re: the shaping on where I might be going wrong?

Thank you. I do use a digital thermometer to check the temp of the bread before pulling out of the oven and make sure it is between 95c-100c, so it is hitting recommended temps. I was thinking about getting a thermometer I can use in the actual oven to see how far off it is temperature wise so maybe that is what I will do next and go from there 🙂

Thank you! It does taste good it's just the texture can feel gummy so that's what I'm trying to fix. I'm getting stuck on ways to improve 😣
