Ah, thanks for that, will try that next time. We generally try bread right out of the oven (why wouldn't you!), but I know I'm doing something consistently wrong, I never have luck with making bread!

Does "to prove" mean you let the dough sit, so natural yeast takes hold? I made some of Pliny's grape juice bread which required the dough, or perhaps I should call it starter, to sit for a number of days.
