    Looking good! Did you do 100% Red Fife with breadflour or high gluten? Would you increasethe hydration a bit next bake?
    Bet it tastes wonderful!

    Hi Janet, I actually used Turkey Red from Sunrise mills, then some mixes till I found the right formulation, though I still think it can use some work to tweak… Yes and no to hydration for this sort of bread, ongoing holy grail!
    Cheers,
    Jeremy
