That looks wonderful. Do you have it split in 3 so you can grab a roll off easily?

Yep. My kid would eat nothing else if I let them

I take it, it's milk bread?

Found the link I used.

I'm rather basic. Failed making a few no-knead loaves before realizing the difference between kneading and folding. Turns out you still gotta fold it.

I will improve.

Ahhh, that's essentially the same methodology as japanese milk bread, just without the tangzhong pre-mix.

But, yeah, folding and stretching develops the gluten the same as kneading, though it tends to give a more tender and "loose" crumb. Delightful way to work for sure. When I do sourdough, I don't knead at all, it's all stretch n fold. It gives that open, airy crumb more reliably.

Bread is love, bread is life :)
