Batch 535

Today was the day of the 535th batch of bread since the great bread game started more than ten years ago now, with the present tempo being around one batch of two loaves a week, each loaf weighing something more than two pounds cooked.

This batch being snapped during the second knead, with the whole operation taking from 0730 to 1530, say around eight hours. With slower rises, it can go up to around ten - so not very convenient for those who have to go to work.

As it happened, this bread was really good at 1800, just cool with good crust, crumb and flavour. And sometimes, it is even better in the morning.
