Planning For "The Big Bake"

Tonight I planned out the timeline for this weekend's bake.  Normally this would not be so complex.  But this weekend is special: On Sunday I'll be baking a dozen mild sourdough loaves for a fundraiser to benefit the Wounded Warrior Program.  This one needs to go right!

The process began on Tuesday, when I began the starter build.  By the time that dough assembly starts tomorrow afternoon, I'll have roughly 3 1/2 pounds of fully fed starter!  Dough assembly, stretching and folding, and loaf shaping will take me though until nearly midnight.  Sunday afternoon we can turn off the furnace and heat the house with the oven for a few hours!

This should be a lot of fun!  And it's for a really great cause.
