I hope you had a good weekend :-)
TP, I assume Wet would have been off fishing and eating fine food somewhere for the weekend. :wink:

As Lamp said, a weekend away fishing and eating fine food and watching an outdoor Shakespeare play with a mountain range as a backdrop
Cheers

I noticed the Batards using the same dough develop more large air pockets I imagine that its something to do with the volume/depth of dough? Boris any ideas...

I gotta hand it to you, Wet.... you're definitly prolific for a home baker.
Love the red spots on those brownies.
Brilliant stuff!

Any thoughts on proofing using a Batard cloth giving more "Air" compared to the cane Baneton loaves??
The fly you were using looks like a nicely tied Royal Wulff....now where have I seen one of those?
In my experience both can give the open aerated structure to the loaf but external appearance is somewhat different. Having said that, of course the dough piece weight should be fitting for the size of the banneton, too heavy and it'll tear as it proves over the banneton edges.
I personally prefer to use bannetons for dough pieces with high non wheat flour content. But I uses clothes and bannetons both for high wheat doughs. In some cases I use a combination of the two - bannetons lined with cloth - for dough with high water content but it's all by and large personal. The great thing is that bread dough is to some extent, a blank canvas.
Keep up the good work.
