I am still making things for a raku firing. Switching to hand building is an adjustment for me. It seems like it takes for ever to finish things. I am sure if I had a slab roller, and hand built more often, I would become more efficient.
For now I continue to slog along. I will roll more slabs out tomorrow and there are always piggy banks to assemble while waiting.
On the home front, Jeff and I decided to take advantage of the warm weather and grill pizza. The crust came out amazing! I decided to finally take other baker's advice and buy King Arthur bread flour. Why didn't I listen to them years ago? It's more expensive, but not outrageuos, and definitely worth it. Now I can't wait to bake some more bread.
I hurt my wrist a few months ago and switched to hand building, yes, it does seem to take a long time to do anything but it is fun to do something different.
ReplyDeleteWe love King Arthur flours, I don’t know why they are different but they are.
