Gert,  thanks for all the photos.  Love to see what others are doing.  All looks good.  Can you split the Pizza base ?

Why not great?  It looks pretty good from the photos. The texture looks good and it has risen quite well.

I have made Yoke's pumpernickel bread but left the prunes out. It's not bad for a change. Very heavy though.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Gert from memory rye doesn't rise as much. I love rye breads, even 100% rye. Although that is very heavy.

Gert,  looks good to me.  Could perhaps proved a little longer,  I can tell this by the crack around the edge.   At least it's an even crack.  My last loaf had a  crack along just 1 side.

Yes you are right. I could have  and should have left it a bit longer. Ah well it is still delicious to eat.

Can anyone tell me what the usual cooking time is for a loaf made to the method on page one of this thread?

Depends a lot on size and shape of tin.  I usually bake at 200 FF, for 15 mins, turn tin around,  then 15 mins, then out of tin,  lay on side then 10 mins.  Test for cook with thermometer and another 5/10 mins,  if needed.
