You need a bread proofer. Or you're a hack. 😏 You mill your own flour, right? RIGHT??? The above, rude exchange with @Pequod reminded me of this thread. Just spent a lovely 15 minutes or so re-reading all the old posts. Really must get back on the bread making horse. And yes, I do own a Brod and Taylor bread proofer in my home in the UK (thanks to @P and the KK shopping channel) but cannot bring myself to spring for another for the place in Italy. Will try the warming bowl in my Kenwood Chef when I am next there. I have visions of turning into @Syzygies, duplicating kit for his two homes before finally consolidating into one and having to find homes for it all! I really must try @C6Bill's recipe - you seem to get such reliable results. And I still have not got onto @Syzygies's spelt loaf. All in good time.

Yes! I never thought I would think about a grill every single day, but I do! It's cobalt blue tile. All I know is it has an ETA of end of March. I'm guessing that's when it hits the dock in the US. Not sure how long customs and overland shipping take from there. If I could track that ship I would! Every time I talk about it my wife just smiles and shakes her head. I'm like a 52 year old kid waiting on Christmas.

Sometimes i'll just leave it out on the counter for 6 hours while i go for a walk and it will be just fine. You don't need fancy tool to get good results.

How exciting @Davidm! What colour, tile or pebble and when is your ship due in???
