Indeed, I cold proof everything: sourdough, sourdough pizza dough, sourdough cinnamon rolls!

It's convenient and tastes better (imo).

I am impressed with this consistent shape of the Boules. I could never get my dough to stand up...something is disappointing about making a sammich on bread that is 2" high and 6" wide...

I am having better luck with the technics from "The Bread Code" helping the bread loaf stand up, but have stuck with the loaf pans...convenience, I guess.

In addition to Hendrik Kleinwchter of the Bread Code, I ran across another info source, from the Elveria family.

They are French 4th generation bread makers. They have a publication called, oddly, "The Secrets of Sourdough Bread", available free if you buy something...

You guessed it, I bought a pair of "bread bags" from them, made from cotton fabric which has been infused with beeswax.

In an Instagram post from some anonymous lady, the beeswax bags will keep the bread un-refrigerated for a week, without hardening of the crumb, softening of the crust, or any combination thereof. There are some beeswax bags on Amazon, considerably cheaper, but they are apparently just "coated" with beeswax, not infused, and leave a nice beeswax coating on your bread...the infused bags do not and last a good while, but they ain't cheap...$40 each.

Anyway, the paper by Elveria family, and the Bread Code pdf, seem to agree...good confirmation...but common through both is that your personal results may differ from recipes, flour used, autolysing, fermenting, humidity, kitchen temp, and temp of snow on Mt Everest.

Yes, I have become suspicious of internet recipes...

I stumbled upon that bread code YouTube page once.

I'm confused from where you bought the bags? I've been in the market for the so I was curious to find them? Didn't see them on the bread code page?
