@fsinn itβs so fucking good. I do a couple of small things differently, but itβs this basic recipe from YouTube. (So many good baking channels.)

@tantramar Damn it. You know Iβm going to have to.
You must appreciate my weakness: my last meal request would be toasted fresh loaf with tons of butter. And Earl Grey tea. This has been clear for years. The only variance is the kind of bread.
@fsinn The main thing Iβd add to the video is to aim for 100β115Β° F water temperature (I mix half boiling water with half room-temperature water), and keeping a half cup or so to use to wet the last of the dry flour when mixing. (So many recipes specify water βthe temperature of baby formulaβ which is super-helpful for those of us without kids π.)
oh, and if you have an oven thermometer, use it. My oven gets 75β125Β° hotter than what I dial it to. β¨οΈπ¬π₯
