I'll hopefully have some photos later today. Reinstalling my computer as I managed to generally bork things up.

How do y'all handle your final rises? I do it on a towel and then transfer to a baking sheet, but I didn't flour my towel well enough yesterday... mussed up my loaf when I had to resort to peeling it off. :(

EDIT

Final Rise

Crap

Well? How'd it taste? Cause it looks delicious.

Micheal Pollan has a bit where he talks about how you can tell a bread is good because it makes your mouth water (as opposed to Wonder Bread, which makes you want to take a sip of something.)

By that standard, I wouldn't say it left my mouth wet, but it wasn't dry either.
