Never heard of the 240 rule? Take temperature of the room, the temperature of the flour, add them together, subtract from 240 and the result is the temperature of the water to get an 80 degree dough. BTW, has anyone else noticed that we have picked over these three threads ad nauseam, and no one has still answered the question on how to schedule making a daily bread with a starter? Wonder if that guy lost interest while we all wandered. What I really hope is that it drove him to the bookstore.

If you use the 240 rule does it allow for heat generated by kneading?

Kimmie - the white loaf from Baking With Julia is my fav. It is the best, most consistent whit bread I have ever made.
