Bread bakers out there... a little tip

maybe others experience the same problem I often do. When making a bread with higher hydration levels and particularly those that need to proof after shaping for a long time, I find that sticking to the banneton can be a huge problem

Tired of hurting the shape of the dough as I remove it from the banneton for baking, I had the idea of flouring the banneton, covering it with SaranWrap, flouring the inside of the plastic wrap and adding the dough to it.

After 14 hours fermentation in the fridge, the bread inverted like a dream, plastic peeled off nicely, and the lines of the banneton were still visibly imprinted on the surface of the bread

WINNER!!!!!!

 
Yay!!!

Great tip!!!

I have been a bread making fool. All the family is in and I am determined none shall taste store bought awful American bread while they are under my roof. I made my 14th loaf of bread today: whole=wheat salt-rising!!!

On to puff pastry for Danish (actually Wienerbrot (Viennese Bread) the Danes stole the Viennese pastry and to this day they still get the credit!!!).

 
Wow! Very impressive Richard 14 loaves! Yeast scares me! (And you know those Danes! Dh is the

hungarian, I am the Dane!)
