Now I just need to make the loaf in a good shape, and I'll be all set.
Thanks, uk1!
No problems .... I am so delighted you've had your first one that has really given you pleasure .... you obviously scoffed it and forgot to take the picky.
I think this has shown you what you can do. It's a starting point. Once you forget about bread making as being a mechanical process like programming but a more living process with infinite variables then I think you'll find it more of a form of expression and art rather than just a science. If you continue to concentrate on the principles and forget about recipes you will then be able to make any loaf you would ever want by simply thinking and feeling your way through.
