@foone They're fake!

I don't know if I'm crushed or challenged!

@foone I can't believe I just spent my entire shower thinking about how to make distinguishable keys out of bread.

Well, actually yes I can believe that. Easily.

Even worse? I have ideas!
😂

Hopefully old age nightly short-term memory scrubbing will take care of this!

@foone unfortunately so am I.

Need to change objective from good big loaves of bread to good really small loaves of bread.
😂

Ah yes. Today's #bread mystery.

Why did a simple change in fold timing and *less* levain result in this huge morass of dough in *less* time than the last batch?
🤔

No time to think, I definitely need to divide and shape. This is ready!!

🚨🚨 Flood Warning 🚨🚨

We have an imminent threat of invasion of the lowlands. Please divide and shape immediately!!

I need instrumentation!

Do I sense Yet Another Project lurking in the wings?
😂

💡💡💡

I think the modifications made to the proofing cupboard are now having a long term effect. The improved air passage from the back of the fridge and the better placement of the heating pad have finally warmed the wood of the quite large cabinet so that it is providing even, consistent temperature everywhere

It makes sense and is actually a good thing. I'll just have to get used to the change, and adjust timing appropriately. This should actually get me closer to the original recipe timing.

🚨🚨 Update 🚨🚨

Warning downgraded to threat of child sized loaves. Please remain calm and this situation should come to some sort of conclusion within six hours.

Fuck.

I have never been so passionate about regretting success in my life!

OMG! It's making a break for it!

I am so hosed! It's still not proofed!
😂

Oven now pre-heating

Two hours. Supposedly needs four. I didn't bother poking it, it's quite obviously still expanding. 🤦♂️

Maybe I shouldn't have been so careful about not de-gassing it.

Houston, we may have a problem! We are in uncharted territory here.
🤷♂️

Ooooh Mama!

Eight minutes left! The boy may just pull this off!

I think it's as deep as it is wide!
😂

Well. Switch me with your finest Hickory!

I just might pull this off!

Houston, Houston! Do you copy?

You gotta get us out of here! Soon!

Please!

<Narrator: it's only been in the oven 7 minutes>

You just can't imagine how badly I want to see the crumb of this thing!

Is it all big air bubbles? Have I gone 'out the other side' with my changes?

🤔

Here it is beside my extremely good poolish loaf from last night.

This one dwarves it!

I have just spent the last 5 minutes laughing uncontrollably in giddy confusion!

All by myself in the kitchen.

What the hell is this thing and how do I do it again!
😂

Toot prompted by Tanya stuffing an additional two eggs in my pocket when I delivered the loaf from last night (the one in the bag).

And refusing to take them back!
😂

It's eight eggs now Tanya. Not six. Eight.

* how to lose customers before you ever really get started!

#BreadBarter

Well, managed to pull it off. Left loaf is 620g, right is 530g. I need to tune my eye to a dough ball that big for dividing. Still right in the weight target ballpark though.

Now that it's over, I've just realised how stressful dealing with this has been!
😂

I need a shower and a nap. Or a nap and a shower. Or maybe just a nap followed by another nap!
😂
