Return to Barry Harmon's Artisanal Artisan Bread.

After dividing the dough into 4 pieces of about 12 ounces / 340 grams each and in the bowls I use to equalize the weights. I let them rest in the bowls for about 10 minutes to relax the doughs. SInce I have four identical bowls, I know that the total weight of each bowl and dough should be the same. I use the scissors to snip dough until the weights are the same. I realize this sounds like too much precision, but it's all in a good cause.
