 Hot Tips

• Use a rubberband around your starter jar to show the level of your starter pre-feed and watch it grow.
• A tray of boiling water in the bottom of the oven acts as a steam source to replicate a professional steam oven - great for enhancing oven spring and creating that great crust we all crave!
• Wet your hands before handling your dough to stop it sticking to your hands.
