If I am not mistaken it did say allow a 2 hour rise but I divided mine and shaped them at about the hour marker. My house is warm. If you allow the dough to go well passes the first rise there may not be enough umf to get a nice second rise.
Yes, tomahawk, I have used the displacement method too and it is fine. It is just when I see part of a story that is not correct I wonder what else is not as stated and lose interest.
Don't try to do your sous vide steak the way he said in the video. That bag will tend to float and you will get uneven cooking, the air needs to be taken out of the bag.
Nice looking sandwich plate. Did you make the loaves 12 inches long? I agree with your thoughts on the rise. I would have expected the loaves to have risen higher. When I did mine I didn't press all that much to flatten them.
Thanks, Paul. I have been doing sous vide cooking for many years. It is another tool in the book, one that I would not be without. [emoji4] I have the Poly Science circulator, it was a very early player in the game.
