Opps I did it again.... well not quite.
Since I'm waiting for my ingredients and my levain to grow up enough to be harvested... I decided to make the french lean loaf again, though I am doing two things differently.
I didn't use any additional flour to shape the bread - instead making sure it's was coated in veg oil.
I also am using .45kg piece today, .4-.45 tomorrow, and on the 3rd day I plan to combine what is left with what I have to "discard" from my levain, possibly adding in a very small mount of additional yeast.
Not sure how the 3rd loaf will turn out - but this one looks great. We'll be slicing into it in about 4 hours for dinner (needs time to cool)
The oven spring on this loaf was quite nice to behold.
And the bread was great - once we cut into it it was gone within 90 mins.
