What could possibly go wrong?  :

Ummm.... Anyone got a step ladder I can borrow? My ceiling's got three pizza bases stuck to it

the site is the happiest it's been so that can't be putting people off.

For one moment I hoped you were right but there's always someone or something to risk a breach of the peace, isn't there. I guess Natterjack probably can't read this, but why does he have to add such a provocative line to all his posts? i.e. not to reply to people he considers are trolls and to add them to an 'ignore' list.

I thought the advice in Natterjack's footer information was sound and goes for any forum. I wouldn't say anybody is particularly trolling this site at the moment.

I do have one name in my ignore list and no it's not you George!

976bar,

base i use is from the uk wood fired oven site by spot on member minesamojito. it's the best i've found. (old link http://woodovenukforum.forumup.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=6953&mforum=woodovenukforum#6953, new site http://ukwoodfiredovenforum.proboards.com)

day 1
In a bowl add

250g Strong white bread flour
325g Lukewarm water
5g Fast Action Yeast

Mix with a wooden spoon and leave covered overnight.

day 2
The next morning add

250g Strong white bread flour, or replace with an equal quantity of alternative (wholemeal/barleycorn/5seed)

10g Fine Sea Salt

Mix until it comes together and knead for 10 mins on a worktop until silky and soft

Oil the bowl lightly with olive/rapeseed oil but the dough in and let rise until doubled (approx. 1 hour)


I?ve adapted it very slightly. You can change the flour to 100% bread or 30% plain depends on your own preference. Have spreadsheet depending on how interested in the subject.
