Hello everyone from here in Virginia! I have been following the equipment
discussions with even more interest than the recipes! But I do agree with
Pedro about 'cheating' on the yeast amount! oops - there goes my license too!
Regarding bannetons - I am a little puzzled - having never used one. I get
the impression from the posts that they do not go in the oven; the bread is
only 'proofed' for its' final rising, and removed -placed on a baking
sheet(?) for the 'heat treatment'.. I am confident that if I tried to
removed a proofed/risen loaf from a basket, it would be quite flat/un-risen
by the time I got it to the oven. My levitation skills are not what they
need to be to accomplish this! Can someone that knows about using these
baskets enlighten me how not to turn every loaf into pizza?
