  1. Thanks, Jon. It's nice to be able to refer back to your demo. Couple questions:

    First, you had originally told me 25 oz bread flour. Have you noticed that the extra .5 oz helps it turn out better somehow?

    Second, after forming the boules, you proofed them for 30 minutes. I think I had written down 15 minutes for the baguettes or rolls. Is it just longer for the boules?

    Thanks, Jon! I think I'm getting better and better. Mmmmm. Bread.

  3. Looks so good. Any way you can convert to cups and teaspoons for those of us without scales? :-) you are so good at demonstrations and with the camera. You will definitely go far!
