- did autolypse with flour and water in bowl...did not knead...looked very dry...really tempted to add some water
- then added all other ingredients in bowl...still felt dry
- flipped everything onto table and started kneading...felt very dry
- then started to get very wet feeling...was tough to knead as it all stuck to my hand and table...before, i would have added more flour...i was very tempted to do the same today but decided to just keep kneading as i heard its normal for it to feel wet and later get better...
- then after 3 min of kneading, it turned tacky, no longer yet....nothing stuck to fingers or table...amazing! was perfect
- kneaded 5-7 min more and found baker's window...stopped and let it rest and rise in bowl with some oil
- let it rise double
- punch down and roll into the pan and cover
- rise and bake 400 degrees for 30min
bread turned out way better than machine mixed!...holes better and so was the texture...liked it a lot! maybe best bread in a long time...quicker too...
