I think I finally figured out the best way to approach the weekend project. We should start with the sketches first rather than jumping into the materials. That way we can settle on proportions before we commit to anything. I was talking to Jenna about it and she agreed that having a clear blueprint saves time later. Also I found that old reference book you lent me last year and I think it actually has the exact technique we need for the joins. Let me know if you want to look at it together before Saturday. I can swing by your place or we can meet at the shop whichever works better for you. I know you said mornings are tough right now so maybe afternoon? Just reply whenever you have a sec.

Yeah I finally got around to trying that sourdough recipe you sent me last month. It took three attempts to get the starter right but the third one finally doubled like it was supposed to. I baked it last Sunday and the crust came out amazing. The inside was a little denser than I wanted but it still tasted good. I think I need to let it proof longer next time. My neighbor came over and asked what smelled so good so I gave her half the loaf. She said it reminded her of the bread her grandmother used to make. Anyway I wanted to ask if you have any tips for shaping boules without a banneton because I think thats where Im struggling the most. Let me know what you think.
