hi Wonder
after the 1st rise bunch down ,  snip with scissors fairly deep and stuff ,spray with oil and sprinkle with herbs  Set aside until dough has doubled in size or
just below the top of the tin

next time i will try mixing in the tomatoes and herbs.  this loaf is really nice with a caprese salad

ciao

Oh dear CP63 - another toy for me to investigate. Does the proofing bowl improve the rise or is it mainly for the lovely pattern?

I think it may be more for the spherical shape and the pattern. Next time I may just push the dough slightly more into the bowl to see if the pattern is more obvious. The only thing then would be ease of getting the dough out when you flip it out...
(VHJ, I thought I could always use the prooofing bowl as a fruit bowl if it doesn't work out  :D)

It does look good CP.  Halley I'm sure your keenness for breadmaking will not wear off, you will become more and more addicted to it and your guests will come to expect it.

another toy for me to investigate.

am thinking that perhaps the TM is more expensive than initially thought - with all these little extras that we are becoming aware of during our culinary journey...at least my DH would only think that proofing bowl would cost about $5 cos its a bit of plastic, and the bread tin would only cost the same if he inflated the price in his mind -- lucky he has no idea of the real cost of things cos he'd get a shock. (not that he minds because he loves eating the food  :-)) - but he still thinks back to fish and chips being "snapper and 40" ha ha)

CP your loaf looks great!  Did you get the 20cm or the 23cm? I haven't had a chance to use mine again yet but hopefully this week will be a quieter week for me to have a play.  I hope it turns out as good as yours  :D  A friend of mine bought one of the bamboo ones and said it's a PIA to clean.  The good thing with the plastic is that it can be washed in the sink immediately.   ;D

JO  the proofing basket is 230mm. Yeh I thought the cane might present some cleaning problems. The instructions that came with it were a little contradictory so far as saying handwash in warm water and then saying it was dishwasher proof  :-\ so I think that I will wash by hand to be sure to be sure
