I have never baked this type of bread before (I've always stuck to quick breads & pizza dough) and I told my dh that if it turned out I was going to the bookstore & find this book! I'm really looking forward to experimenting with different types of breads. <br /><br />BTW - I absolutely love the Quail Hollow blog, I've had a great time reading your posts & your pictures are wonderful!<br /><br />Kerri :)Kerri Hnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8058956073018368716.post-16238544411825175952009-05-19T06:26:00.000-04:002009-05-19T06:26:00.000-04:00How fantastic!

I have been using King Arthur's unbleached all-purpose flour and Pillsbury bread flour. Both work well. As for the two parchment paper step, I would do it in one step next time. Be sure and check out Nancy's blog at http://kitchenlane.blogspot.com. She has a great website also.

Would adding some flour at the beginning help?<br /> Why do the two step parchment thing? Wouldn't it work to just flour the parchment and do it in one step?<br /> Thanks KindlyMaureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03322021822761983534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8058956073018368716.post-43994090300177155762009-04-21T22:20:00.000-04:002009-04-21T22:20:00.000-04:00Great concept indeed!!

As a junior baker-in-waiting, I do have a couple of questions for you more experienced folks:<br /> My first batch was delicious and got the wonderful bubble effect, but was a bit flatter than I would like. Would an extra bit of flour from the get-go firm up the dough a bit to make it easier to shape?<br /> Secondly, why the two parchment paper steps? Any reason why I couldn't just lay down some flour and do it in one step?<br /> Thanks kindly, gret site!!<br />Budding Baker BillMaureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03322021822761983534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8058956073018368716.post-47520265466138393322009-04-03T23:59:00.000-04:002009-04-03T23:59:00.000-04:00Thanks, Patty.
