This may be heresy, but we loved it with braised chicken and mushrooms for dinner, and then afterwards, sliced thinly with jam.

We loved it with a dinner of braised chicken and mushrooms, and later, sliced thinly, with jam for dessert. I thought of not using the method, just raising in the regular way, but I'm glad I tried this--and my towel cleaned up beautifully with the dough scraper.

I am so glad the Babes found this fun to do.<br /><br />Sweet, I think this method could work well with other breads...see next comment after yours. Two years might not be forever, but it is awesome. Some people give up quickly, so you are indeed an experienced bread baker. Thanks for baking with us.<br /><br />Gigi, So glad you tried it with sourdough. I agree that this method helps when proofing conditions, like air temperatures, are not ideal. This way sort of provides an ideal proofing temperature, as long as you don't mind a little mess. :)Ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733838869805925920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36460660.post-40913181017255324752014-03-23T10:43:16.006-07:002014-03-23T10:43:16.006-07:00Challenge accepted.

I thought it would turn out to be a mucky mess but was surprised how easily the dough pulled away from the soggy towel. I never make sourdough during the summer because of the heat and humidity where I live. Using a cool water bath would be the perfect solution. It's also a great way to control the environment for finicky dough like brioche. Will give the brioche recipe a try.

I looked it up in my 74' copy of Beard on Bread and see that the recipe immediately following this is for water-proofed egg twists. Is it okay if I try this one instead?
