No, but it looks awesome. For Thanksgiving I make my mom/grandmother's chicken and dressing.Did you do a panzanella (spelling…?) too? I tried a root veg mash, but didn't turn out quite the way i wanted
Not sure I could have sold the brown bread, lolMy kids always whine for "something else" unless it's kraft dinner or pancakes so I threw a cheap can of black beans in a pot as decoy dinner to be refused so they would shut it and eat these sandwiches. Oh also they only mess with bologna right now.... sigh. I miss actually cooking.

I've been using the silicone ones, washable! You cannot feel the heat at all with them either.
My wife said she wanted yogurt, Swiss cheese and fruit for breakfast. This was in 2011....This is not my dinner tonight but from a restaurant I used to own, I know im breaking the rules here but I also know this site appreciates craftsmanship. I miss doing this kind of shit, but I figured why not share it with the pedal pcb fam.

score it on a hard bias with a super sharp knife after the second proof(bakers use a razor blade) They look awesome did you use steam in the beginning that will give you the crusty goodness!! Much respect for bakers!I think I finally mastered the biga:

Edit: these turned out really good. Excellent crust, crumb and flavor! I just gotta improve my scoring technique.
lol nah man just scratched up plates, and your right it’s easy to say that but you do have to feed em. I feel the pain though I worked in kitchens my whole life and used to create memories for people with food. Now I gotta threaten a three year old with a round house kick over a brussel sprout. Best of luck to you and your wifeMy wife and I are trying for a kid. Not having a kid makes it easy for me to imagine saying that something else would be "nothing." Then again, that could lead to said theoretical kid looking like he/she belongs on a Unicef ad. Also, please tell me that's not hair on the plate.
Lots of steam at the beginning yeah! That’s key to oven spring although I found that getting the dough just right is the most important thing. I use a lame for scoring. I think I have been scoring at too steep of an angle, should be almost parallel to the loaf. Also the lame feels not sharp enough (it gets stuck in the dough) and I don’t have a good way to sharpen it which is annoying.score it on a hard bias with a super sharp knife after the second proof(bakers use a razor blade) They look awesome did you use steam in the beginning that will give you the crusty goodness!!

I use the same nylon scraper that I use to remove the dough from the bowl. Since I'm making the 16" long loaves, I start from the middle and go to the side, rotate the pan 180 and repeat. I stand perpendicular to the pan, instead of looking at it long-ways.Lots of steam at the beginning yeah!
