(ignore the magic oven humming)
In all the boredom Alduhir decided to gather the group together to play a game or something, I dunno, it sounded like you pick roles and roll dice or something, and since he mentioned that it might go long I wanted to make sure people are well fed. Playing games while hangry is a mortal sin.
Huh, I’ve never baked two loaves of bread in one day before, and it’s pretty challenging to juggle the timing. Because once you throw the yeast in it’s on, and only a matter of time until that fungus has consumed all the flour. Sounds kinda weird when you spell it out like that but the end result is some nice and airy bread. Well, after you do the preferment, autolyse, mix in the salt, bulk proof, do stretch & folds to develop gluten, preshape, bench rest, shape, final proof, score and bake in a blazingly hot oven (lovely on a warm late summer day like this), and THEN, you hopfully get some nice, airy bread with a bubbly, crispy crust. Timing is everything, the first loaf went harf an hour *glug* over, and it didn’t rise as nicely as the second one.
So wait, what are the game rules again?
