What might help more is prolonging the long proofing time by doing an overnight proof in the fridge and then resuming the proof at room temp the next day. Hi Jackie,

Must be some sort of hypertext conversion. It wasn't bread related I'm sure. Don't want to waste any more precious space on this forum. thank, Marianne Carolyn,

Mon, 01 Mar 2010 06:03:45 +0000 http://www.breadtopia.com/sourdough-no-knead-method/#comment-42448 Hi Marianne, When I first tried this, I'd read that the loaves just needed to be "set" so they would hold their shape & not yet brown. I just worked it out by guess & by golly to be ten minutes. (I bake half-size loaves.) Checking the internal temp. I think it's usually 10 deg. lower than when fully done. But this isn't science, just my experience. If the loaf starts browning too much during the re-heating, I just put a piece of foil over the top. Carolyn Hi Marianne,

I'm worried about pulling them out not fully baked. I make the traditional kneaded loaves, so maybe I am not posting these questions and comments in the right part of this forum. In the case of baguettes I would be pulling them out after 15 minutes with my oven. Do you use a specific internal temperature as a guideline, or strictly by adjusting the baking time. I guess it's just trial and error. Thanks Marianne Carolyn, If I can ask just one more question about freezing and reheating the loaves.

I will write this advice down and use it. I am practising like crazy with these wonderful recipes that Eric has demonstrated, and we can't eat them fast enough. I find myself giving them to the neighbours and bringing them to family dinners just to use them up so that I can bake some more. Thanks to Eric and everyone on this forum I am finding a new and wonderful hobby. I love reading all the advice and suggestions. Marianne Carolyn F.

Sun, 28 Feb 2010 01:06:43 +0000 http://www.breadtopia.com/sourdough-no-knead-method/#comment-42395 Hi Marianne, I always bake more than we can use at one time. My solution is to take the loaves out of the oven about 10 minutes early. When they've cooled completely I wrap in plastic wrap, then put into a freezer bag and freeze for later. This is my version of Brown & Serve. To use them I thaw in the fridge for about 4-6 hours, then heat at 375-400 for about 20 minutes. Try a loaf at home some time and adjust as needed. I hope this helps. Carolyn F. Hi Marianne,

Does anyone have some advice on freezing and then thawing these loaves. At our family gatherings we combine efforts and everyone contributes. I would love to introduce the extended family to some of these wonderful recipes, but too many people to bake for the day of the celbration. Any suggestions on baking ahead would be much appreciated.
