I am a big fan of lamination. I find that I need less bulk fermentation time once I do a lamination. As long as my start is fully active and I do a three active Levan where I’ll start Friday night and Saturday morning and Saturday afternoon six hour intervals that’s when I’m getting ready to mix and make my bread. I can have my dough in the refrigerator in four hours without doing a four or five hour book fermentation after all my stretch and folds, anybody know about this stuff because it really works for me.

Seriously I view so many beautiful and great cookies and before I started baking I rarely ever ate cookies. Honestly they were usually fake food in my opinion. Especially package chocolate chip cookies to me they tasted like sawdust. Since I started baking, and now that I belong to this sub Reddit and I’m watching and listening to what all of you people are doing and what I’m doing, I think we are in the world of baking. We can only experience doing it at home. Some of you are making stuff, including myself that’s blowing away. Anything we can buy in the store or most bakeries, including Costco which personally for me I don’t like any of their baked stuff. I love most other things just not that. And I’m so grateful to be part of this group. I can’t say anymore please share your thoughts and opinions.

What has home baking done for you.
For me learning to bake bread and do it the right way changed a part of my life
I understand more about food then I ever have
Now I have been cooking my entire life
I was a professional cook and even owned a small cafe and ice cream store for a short period. But knowing how to bake and bake well is for me an immense pleasure and great improvement in my daily health
Better bread better food better quality of life.
