Whining, Wine-ing & Winning

For those keeping score at home, we’ve survived:

• The levain panic of 2026
• The autolyse phase
• The “why doesn’t my dough look like the book?” crisis
• The urge to add more flour

We are entering the stretch-and-fold portion of today’s programming, which means I’ll be setting a timer every 30 minutes and pretending I’m not obsessed with what’s happening in this bowl.

Cassie made the ultimate sacrifice. Garth and Wayne are ironing thriving. Sunny (starter) remains on standby.

Happy Fourth of July. Please don’t light Colorado on fire.

More Bread Day updates to come. You’re welcome.
