back to the old

I'm back to the old recipe: fast kneading, rise, fold, fridge overnight.

One new twist: after folding, spray a clean tup with Pam to hold the dough. Then it slides into the banneton without deflating.

kneading

Slower kneading is not working for me.

3 minutes on 1/2 speed and 4 minutes at top speed make for a poofy loaf.
