Strange isn't it but following one of the coldest days for some time Saturday produced the mildest day of this December with a high of 10.6°C and a low of 3.9°C. It gave us an average for the day of 7.5°C. For good measure it was sunny too although a little breezy at times.
As the weather had been a bit iffy I’d decided to have a go at bread making by leaving the dough to rise in the fridge over night. I still don’t understand why this works and I’m amazed that after a night in the fridge my bread dough looks like this.
Sadly there’s no pictures of the finished bread as I cocked up the baking. I’m certain it sounded hollow when tapped underneath, however the dough wasn't cooked in the centre of the loaf. The birds might be in for a treat though. I must try harder next time!

That's a first for me, I've never heard of dough rising in the fridge before.
ReplyDeleteNor had I until I saw the Hairy Bakers getting tips from European bread makers.
