Surprise bread (Slideshow version)
Stage 7/22 : 10 min.
Now comes the tricky moment: extracting the soft cylinder of bread intact from its ring of crust.It should be fairly easy, if you have cut round well enough beforehand, to turn the loaf upside down and shake it gently.
You can also slip a metallic spatula or a pallette knife down the side and make small see-saw movements.
Don't get bad tempered or panic, but go at it gently, carefully, and stay zen...
