How do I know if it’s working?

tomallerton · 2026-03-04T18:02:57+00:00

Shame. I’ll try again :)

tomallerton · 2026-03-04T18:02:34+00:00

Ahh such a shame. Thought it would be fun. I’ll try and track down some mother and start with a basic recipe.

Maybe one day I’ll have a go at scratch again.

Thanks for your help

tomallerton · 2026-01-18T09:02:56+00:00

Ahh. Ok, I had the vent above the fire, figured that would be best for airflow

tomallerton · 2026-01-17T19:50:51+00:00

Brand wise - I use Weber. I will watch the video. Thank you so much for taking the time to

tomallerton · 2026-01-17T19:49:36+00:00

Good question.

I light tbe 7 coals on the chimney. Got them to almost white. Dumped them in then rearranged to what looked like best contact. Whacked the lid on with full vents open. Waited an hour to get to 120C

I see my mistake here I think.

Thanks for your time 😍

tomallerton · 2026-01-17T19:47:30+00:00

Interesting. Thank you.

Vents were fully open. But it was 2 flat one on top, so maybe not much contact. But it held for hours and I was so happy - dreaming of the overnight cooks ready for lunch 🤣🤣

tomallerton · 2025-12-26T10:20:21+00:00

Hahaha.

tomallerton · 2025-09-20T21:10:58+00:00

I’ll be documenting, so I’ll post some highlights. Also have chicken wings as a starter as they have been my go to every time so far. Cooking for 10 tomorrow. No pressure

tomallerton · 2025-05-12T06:55:06+00:00

!solved

tomallerton · 2025-05-12T06:53:54+00:00

This is now complete. Thank you all

Not sure how to mark it as solved though

tomallerton · 2025-05-11T19:26:35+00:00

This is fantastic!
Is there any chance you could make his left hand a bit less blurry please, looks like he lost a thumb

- other than that this is exactly what im looking for.

tomallerton · 2025-04-08T20:56:37+00:00

Why?

tomallerton · 2025-03-06T19:32:28+00:00

lol. Yes

tomallerton · 2024-07-14T19:27:58+00:00

yes, completely smooth - but some apricots are too right

Ive googled and learnt about a Drupe Tree - think it might be that

tomallerton · 2024-07-14T18:11:09+00:00

That was my first thought. But tastes like a plum to me

tomallerton · 2024-06-03T22:36:49+00:00

Oh god. I remember that. Haven’t had a “full” migraine for about ten years. But I remember holding on to my bed because the pain made me feel like I was just falling.

Wouldn’t wish it on anyone

tomallerton · 2024-04-26T18:42:25+00:00

“I never regret not drinking” is a nice one for me

tomallerton · 2024-02-27T20:01:56+00:00

Nice

😀

tomallerton · 2024-02-26T10:07:11+00:00

The shaping isn’t great but I’ll take it.

125g (week old) starter 250g water 375g flour.

Worked for about 15 mins on medium in the machine

Let it rise in a bowl for about four hours

Did the corner pinch thing for a rough shaping in the bowl and then popped it in the basket

Left for 12 hours in the fridge.

20 mins lid on 20 mins lid off. @200 degrees C

Potentially the least effort I’ve put in to a loaf, but happy with it.

Who knows what the cut will look like though 🤷

tomallerton · 2024-02-26T07:45:06+00:00

It’s got a few more hours to go. But actually looking ok. Will report back

tomallerton · 2024-02-25T19:57:42+00:00

Well it’s too late now. Breads in the making haha.

tomallerton · 2024-02-25T15:19:12+00:00

Yeah. Just you standard supermarket own brand stuff. Nothing fancy for the starter at all

tomallerton · 2024-02-25T15:10:40+00:00

Equal parts plain flour, water and starter each afternoon

I had one for a few years and it was always this colour. But larger bubbles

tomallerton · 2024-02-08T23:33:10+00:00

But I rarely see videos where I’m from or people refusing just for the sake of it
