<html> <p>I think we can achieve "Work-Bake Balance", making a loaf of bread while working as long as there is an oven at home or at office. </p> <p>I worked at home last 3 months and could bake at least 2-3 loaves of bread every week. From this month I commute to and work at a co-working space which has a kitchen & an oven. So now it's time for a new experiment: how can we work at a office & bake a loaf of bread :)</p> <p>This time I tried to bake <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciabatta">Ciabatta</a> for sandwich as the recipe I follow need less maintenance and is relaxed for rising time using less yeast. What I did was ... </p> <ol> <li>Mix water, yeast, flour and salt at home (9:00)<br> <img src="https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8449/29248243194_3bfc662e3a_o_d.png" width="3264" height="2448"/></li> <li>Bring the dough to office in a olive oil coated container (9:30)</li> <li>Fold the dough two times.</li> <li>Leave the container in the kitchen for 45-60 minutes (10:20)</li> <li>Repeat 3 & 4 for few times.<br> <img src="https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8538/29581837610_5e4147ce50_o_d.png" width="3264" height="2448"/></li> <li>Shape the dough and start preheating the oven (12:30)</li> <li>Bake for 20 minutes.</li> <li>Cool down the bread.</li> <li>Lunch time with the bread :)<br> <img src="https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8422/29581841020_aba7bd8301_o_d.png" width="3264" height="2448"/></li> </ol> <p>We enjoyed sandwiches with freshly baked bread. Other co-working space users wanted to use the oven too but luckily we had same temperature to bake so we peacefully shared the oven :)</p> <p>I will try different types of bread or to bake a loaf to bring back home for dinner. And I'm looking forward to host a work-bake balance workshop in the future.</p> </html>
