I can't believe it is going to work. It has nearly doubled so I am turning on the oven. It took 6 hours before it started to rise.

Thank you so much chookie. And to think I will have it all to myself!

Well done Gert. You should be very proud of yourself. The loaf looks really tasty.

I could not believe how long it too to even start to rise . 6 hours.

Gert,  you are just wonderful to stick to it when you had problems with the first one.  This looks like a very good loaf.  Full size next time?  Have you got enough starter left?  Just feed it up and leave on bench.  I hope you wrote down what you did.  It is much easier for us people in cooler climates,  so this is extra special. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
