Help! Starter doesn't look like Ernest - Page 3

I finally baked some bread using Zaza. Pretty good I think especially since I improvised on bannetons and the couche. I never got around to buying any so I ended up using a colander lined with floured flour sack towels for one boule and just the towel for the other boule. I barely floured the towels enough but no major mishaps. The flour sack towels are too thin I think. I have some more bread fermenting in the fridge and I used thicker linen towels this time. Here are the results of my baking weekend.

Wow Risa,

I'm glad to see nice results from the Cheftalk baking clan! You must be very proud.

Funny thing, your focaccia looks much like mine, especially the grape focaccia...it's all pretty cool.

Don't worry, with time, your starter will mature, therefore the flavour and texture should improve.

:D :D

Zaza lives! Very nice stuff. I'm trying to think of what could be wrong with anchovy, red pepper and olive focaccia....

...nope, can't think of a thing. Theo is the one thing I simply can't fit in my EasyBake apartment. I would love to though :)

It all looks so good Risa. :) Congratulation on your success! Love the composition of your picture with the basket and bread.


I’m jealous though, I want a Theo too!! He's too cute. :D

When the going gets tough, the tough bake bread! I went back into the lab this weekend. The **** with the bastards! Hey Risa, how come the link to your bread doesn't work?

NIMDA infected the server that hosts that site and the company that runs the server hasn't fixed it yet. When I go to the home page of e-theo.com, I get the "Welcome to Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack" screen. I think that's the IIS screen. Hopefully, they'll kick in the backup soon.

Yup, the **** with the bastards, lets bake bread for the needy! Nice gesture Kyle.

I really like the loaves risen in an unlined basket. Awesome!

:D

Yup, that's the page I got. We had to close our fire wall. Don't you wish these geniuses would find something else to do with their time? :mad:

Once again Kyle it looks fantastic.

I'm sure the firemen enjoyed your bread. Such a nice gesture.
