Hmm
Crusts look good though, & it will fit in the toaster better.

Making bread late at night so it’s fresh for the morning is a good idea.
Trying a new recipe late at night rather less so - particularly when said recipe involves:
- no sugar to activate the yeast
- cold proving
- a “no knead” method
Several hours later, the results do look promising…

PS
For avoidance of doubt, it is seriously crusty - which was very much the intention.

Here you go. Didn’t trust it to hold its shape without some sort of support, so made it in the usual tin.

Fear not - plenty of crust to go round…
Just tried it - happy to report it tastes as good as it looks!
The secret turned out to be technique rather than ingredients - don’t (as I had been taught) oil the worktop - just dust with flour. The other way was making the dough too wet, so it wouldn’t hold its shape without the tin.
Having got that sorted, time for another go at baguettes…
Incidentally - that was made with the simple 10 second knead / 10 minute rest x3 method. It’ll be interesting to see how it works out with the overnight, poolish method.

And it only took two months to get round to it!
Reasonably successful (though haven’t got to the taste test yet)
Shape could do with a bit of work (bit of an understatement there…). The board I was using was the usual glossy plastic type so instead of rolling it kept sliding. Will try with a textured chopping board next time - or maybe the pizza stone? Any tips and advice gratefully accepted…
