Recipe Notes

This recipe was made in the TM5. The most flour I used in my TM31 was 750grams effectively. I did use a kilo of flour with success, but definitely had to be there. If you don't know how to make bread by hand, I suggest you alter the recipe to 750 grams flour for the TM31. It is a 14.3% difference.
