Retirement

I was trying to construct a link along the lines of retirement/bed/couche, but never mind.

Instead of starting at 5.00 a.m. I saunter out of bed at 6.00 a.m.

6.50 a.m. ten large tomato breads with sundried tomato in the couche. 7.50 a.m. twenty in the couche:
8.50 a.m. twenty four in the couche and a couple of odds and sods in bannetons. Tucked up in bed for a few hours rest:

10.20 a.m first batch proved:
Slashed, off centre at an angle to the middle with a bread knife:

11.10 a.m. baked:

Last of the Tomato breads + the odds & sods:

Isn’t it astonishing that those doughs can turn into this:

Finally, six large Laputabrots for Gert who has a Finnish night tonight at Oren in Caernarfon:

They are always unruly – all that golden syrup and sunflower oil.

Last bake before France on Saturday.
