Same 3 day affair, but using "softer" American bleached AP flour (that's still 9 to 11 % protein which is high compared to European flours). <br />The fermenting dough looks alien and alive!<br />Will begin baking in a few hours. For pics, you can follow the link I posted above, later today.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02962682366472159816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995818.post-5003550617032323582011-02-25T20:07:09.983-06:002011-02-25T20:07:09.983-06:00This was some of the best tasting bread I have eve...This was some of the best tasting bread I have evermade, although it came out looking LIKE NOTHING it was supposed to.

I just read an article about a Belgian baker who is opening a bakery cafe "Le Pain Quotidien" here in Toronto whose bread is compared to the famous Poilanes in Paris and costs $12 a loaf. His starter is fed for 11 days so by comparison 3 days doesn't sound so bad for great bread.doughadearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107772878761525846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995818.post-16456904070022292592008-04-01T21:04:00.000-05:002008-04-01T21:04:00.000-05:00Tiney,Thanks--my husband is my photographer.

See Breadchick's comment about The Bread Baking Babes--there are a number of very interesting blog reports about this bread, and a number of them contain the recipe. I am too lazy to repeat recipes, especially if they're kind of complicated, so I'm very appreciative of people who do.<BR/>Yes, it's very moist and chewy inside. <BR/><BR/>Melinda,<BR/>I did put the parchment paper in the oven--just like I always do! The bread always slides right off the parchment paper--until I got this accursed "natural" parchment paper. It was probably about twice as expensive as normal, unnatural parchment paper.<BR/><BR/>Breadchick,<BR/>I just read about The Bread Baking Babes--you babes are inspirational! What's your next project?<BR/>It's not an easy bread to handle, is it? Did you also feel that it had certain alien qualities?Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13183158217378477758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995818.post-75994031793950594852008-03-31T09:48:00.000-05:002008-03-31T09:48:00.000-05:00Marie,How ironic!
