Aw yeah, another weekend, another batch of bread! I got a good tip from my co-worker who introduced me to the Flour Water Salt Yeast book to begin with to put the oven on fan-forced, and it definitely helped. Both these loaves were in the oven with the lid on for 30 minutes, but the left one was uncovered for another 15 minutes whereas the one on the right was uncovered for only 5 minutes.

Oh hells yeah, the bread came out SO DAMN GOOD. It turns out the rye flour was actually a mix of several different flours, so it wasn't super rye-y. Nonetheless it's noticeably more flavourful than the single-day bread. Next time I'll try with a mix of just white and _purely_ rye flour. The overnight recipe is handy too because you don't end up chopping up bread at 10pm if you happen to start it after lunch.

This is the best-looking loaf I've made yet!

And tonight he made himself VERY comfortable in my lap while we were watching QI.

Beanie was sitting under the window the other day, it was open and kept blowing the curtain over him. He really didn't seem to care!

If there's ANYTHING of ours sitting on the lounge, Beanie _has_ to sit either on or amongst it.

And lastly, after a 45-minute preheat of the oven at 245C with the Dutch oven inside, put the dough in for 20 minutes with the lid on and then another 10 with the lid off, and you're done!

Unfortunately the dough-splitting happened quickly enough that I didn't have a chance to take a photo, but you flour your hands and gently get the dough out onto a floured surface, split the dough into two with a knife, then do more of the folding-over that was done earlier to form it into a tight ball. Oil the bowl and put the two dough balls in, then cover and check on them after an hour.
