I need to google how to stretch bread for putting in a loaf pan.  I always do the crueset approach.

So, I am going to make some chocolate Babka this weekend.  ?  I think it is just called chocolate swirl bread in my CA Culinary Academy book.

I’m in the mood for pretzels next.

Do you add any starter to this bread above?

Basically, I pull it into a rectangle and roll it into a log.

No, I used a packet of dried yeast.

I use this method: 3:20 is where stretch and fold starts

I just use the bread maker.  Easy peasy. 

Then I pee in the shower.
