Dang. IDK how you weekday bakers do it. I guess I'll start a thread on a weekday so y'all can contribute.

Here are my proofing loaves. I've only got one brotform, so I lined a fine mesh sieve with its linen liner for the second loaf.

If anyone has tips on shaping high hydration doughs, I'd appreciate it. Mine always end up a kind of floppy ball, and I have difficulty getting good surface tension.

I typically only cook during a full moon during the summer solstice, or a blue moon.

Will you be cooking during the eclipse? Does that impact or change your cooking schedule?

As a Leo I refuse to bake during an eclipse for personal reasons.

As a fellow Leo, I don't agree with your decision but I do support your right to make it.

First loaf out of the oven. The second loaf stuck to the proofing basket and deflated when I pried it free. It's in the oven now, hopefully it'll turn out okay.

Too hot to bake in the summer.

12 person potluck with friends -- you nailed it, I'm planning on picking up some good salted irish butter and various cheeses. I've got a nice sancerre I'm taking over as well!

The only surface tension I need on a Saturday is from your sweet, catholic mother, OP. ;)

>>9293965
ok, at least your mother raised you well.

>>9293974
that doesn't even make sense

>>9293979
i'll let her know an anonymous person on an anime-based image board said so

That looks like it came out really nice.
