1st Brighton Bread

Its about 18* in the house, grey day.
750g allinson very strong white & 4 tsp billingtons light muscovado
(Handful removed)
4tsp allinson dried active in 500ml warm water & 1 tsp billingtons light muscovado

Oven on approx 25* with water in bottom
Yeast mix has about 1cm froth, lets go.

Mix looked ok with about 50ml to go, put it in anyway.

Looks too wet..

10-15 mins later, looks ok
Added three fat pinches of maldon flakes and another 5 mins of kneading.

Covered in glad wrap, average height @ dark stain on pin.
Set timer for 40 mins

punched down and split into two.

Put back in 25* oven for 20 mins

Bloody glad wrap wrecked my bread!
Put into 240* oven, but the rack was on the bottom.
Mucked about getting the bread onto the midfle shelf, checked temp, wax down to 190*.

Looks a bit dark. Flour is spread on top for the camera (white point)

Tastes ok, has a crumpet texture.
Maybe too wet. Could spend less time in the oven.
