It didn't take long for you to get into the bread baking after your weekend away Hally.  I'd love to make a loaf but in this weather, not on your Nelly  ;D

I know I missed cooking :(

Thanks for sharing DJ. The loaves look fantastic. I think our resident bread queen just might have some competition from you 😉😄

Your breads look lovely DJ. I think you can buy 'shower cap' things for baking over here. I'm sure I have seen them somewhere.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

No way KimmyH I just like being part of the bread tragic club... And felt I should share my tweaks.

Here is another tweak.
Added 5g psyllium husk to the yeast/water mix and blended gently 10 secs before adding flour. Reduced flour by 5 g.
Sesame seeds on top

Well higher than the original... Chookies added value is the one with tons of goodies in it.

I shall keep playing, but DH likes the original, he hasn't tried yesterday's yet!

I made this today with added grains.
Porridge oats, chia, linseed and sunflower soaked.
Flour a mix of wholegrain spelt, white spelt and brown wheat.

2 small loaves.
Success.

DJ,  this looks fantastic.  Don't know how I missed this original post,  until I looked at the date.  We were away for a week at this time.
If I could make a couple of comments.  Firstly this is nothing like Uni's recipe as she uses plain white flour, not bread flour.  She adds improver to compensate,  but this still does not give the same result as bread flour. 
This recipe is closer to Cookies Vienna loaf,  but the process is different.
DJ,  you have created a completely wonderful loaf that is truly your own.  You may have taken inspiration from others ,  but it is your loaf. 
Keep experimenting.

Thanks chookie, your comments mean so much.  ;D
We've sort of given up white flour just now so it limits the choices a bit.
Do please join in if you'd like to, I am sure two heads are better than one on this.   ;)

Can't wait to give this a whirl on the weekend. What I need is a pan like yours. Where did you get it DJ?

It's a UK made pan by a company called Silverwood, sold on amazon.co.uk too.

Any big heavy large loaf tin will work. Happy baking

Here is website for manufacturers
