Howard's Formula/Petite Pain
This is my first attempt at Howard's formula for Petiti Pain/Check out holds99's Blog for Bernard Clayton's S.S France Petite Pain - Revisited and Revised ....Thank you so much Howard for posting the recipe and especially for adding a poolish to it!! These are just out of the oven and hot! Sorry no crumb post! They smell deliteful. I placed these on parchment and put them on a preheated stone under a cover and steamed. I overproofed them a little to much....they deflated a little when I sliced them! I know you warned me...Howard! We will enjoy these Sunday!

Glad you had success.

At first I thought yours had a horseshoe shaped slit on top!! Seriously!! : )) .... Thank you for all your help!

Happy to help. My scoring was two quick cuts (like 2 smiles), at a 90 degree angle, toward center, using the PKomachi, much the same as yours appears.

I had a bit of time doing the scoring...I got hung up with the PKomachi...I over proofed which didn't help matters...so switched to my razor...found out it was to dull...put in a new one...I think the last few rolls I was just gettin the hang of it...right side score/left side score : *) ... We enjoyed the rolls with dinner tonite...Thanks Howard!

...They look great.
You did use an overnight preferment?
If so, I bet they were packed with flavor.
Thank you!....Howard has added a very nice poolish to the recipe....The recipe can be found on "holds99's" blog! They are very tastey, with a lovely crumb and crust.
