Perhaps I'll have to start again.
uk1 - do you spend all day cooking every day? It sure seems like it!
I also went through first period by an extended absence from bread making. But now it has all fallen into place and it is so so easy and takes no time or inconvenience. The most complicated bread I make are bagels as I missed the bagels of my youth and realised the only way is to make them . But that is well worth the effort.
Oddly I had the same yearnings for real baguettes hence my experiments there. When written it sounds complicated but in total elapsed time ie not waiting time I guess baguettes take around 20 minutes at most per day.
Yes, I suppose I spend a lot of time cooking but I use to always think of it as productive thinking time as well when working. All my best business and business ideas seems to be over preparing or eating lunch.
