Straight dough emergency Italian bread
Quick as a jiffy, no knead Italian bread.
I decided to proof the round in a bannoton because it is such a wet dough.
(87% hydration) the proofed dough looks great. However, due to the high hydration I know it will be a bear to score. So I put it bannoton an HBd all into the freezer for a quick 20 minutes. The end game soon
It would have benefited from a few steach & folds during the first rise. That being said, it looks good. I will add the crumb shot tonight.
OMG! So good, light as a feather! Make sure you check all the photos!
