Postscript

This recipe is bit “draw the rest of the fucking owl”, because there’s thousands of internet folk who are better at explaining the process of making bread than I am, and the climate in my kitchen resembles the surface of Venus, so my proof times are likely to be wildly different from yours.

Also, I think this recipe is normally made from white wheat flour, either the all-purpose or bread variation. However, we eat an ungodly amount of bread here, so I usually try to use in a decent amount of whole grain flower.
