Well Don, if that's the sort of stuff you bake when you are just fiddling I can't wait to see what you produce when you get serious.
That's a great looking rye boule, and seeing as how it's breakfast time here I wouldn't mind some of those bagels to munch on, good stuff.

My mum once said this about me, "Jack of all trades, master of none" and that's why am just fiddling...

Don...go start a blog. Would love to follow you on your journey. Your learning curve has been sharp but quick.
I just LOVE LOVE LOVE your slashes. How do you do it? Control the depths of the slashes to get a rounded or sharp end?
Hi Don,
I haven't been much at blogging or baking for that matter latley so I just wanted to say "Bitchin boule!"

Thanks for the comments... Honestly, am too lazy to do a blog
Well, I use a razor blade mounted on the plastic file grip(those plastic that grips onto a file insert when you slide it in) for the slashing. What I did was, for the smaller slashes, I slash it inside out towards the edges. The big slash across was just a quick stroke for each slash. I did not really control the depth of the slashes, I just estimated it.
Might not be able to replicate it again though...

Jeremy, thanks for that "Bitchin"....

Thanks, Don. Must try this one day. I still hit a psychological block at the time of slashing. Duh.

Your welcome...
I have posted the recipe for the "Vienna white" loaf... Did you manage to see it?
Cheers...
Don
Yes, I saw it. Thanks. So many recipes, not enough time...
Confession time: I've been guilty of making breads from commercial yeast in between sourdough....usually when I didn't plan my day's menu in advance. The starter has to be fed and happy...and that takes time.
So...I should attempt this some time in the near future, after sourdough pizza this Saturday.
Hi Teepee,
There is nothing to feel remorse about using commercial yeast...
In BreadBaking you should be spontaneous
If if happens that you feel that a certain leavening agent (at the spur of the moment) is what you need then go for it. No need to hesitate..
It does not diminish your baking skills anyway
