    If you can find somewhere or ask to make for you narrow “through style pots” to fit at sides of your owen for hot water to steam bread , they won’t take much of the space and will help to keep steam for baked

    I've been watching Gluten Morgen and a little comment he tossed out there was that deck ovens work more effectively at keeping the steam in with multiple loaves. I know it is hard to justify "wasting" bread on testing but it might be worth trying a multi-loaf run when you think you are close as the extra loaves might make a difference. (I believe it was the one bread, four ovens video in case you want to look it up.) You're doing well, post when you can. I have been enjoying the journey and hope to one day give it a try myself.

    QUESTION: Regarding wholesale clients, how much of a discounted rate are you giving to them? I have a couple opportunities to sell wholesale, but I'm afraid it'll eat into my time and profits too much.

    • @madarafarms

      @@PneumaticTube great question! You have to know your cost include your gas, electric, mileage etc. and then you double that plus 1/2. For example let’s say your total cost is $2 you would charge $5. You also want to make sure you have minimums in place so that it makes sense. You don’t want to deliver to a wholesale customer for 2 loaves of bread that doesn’t make sense. My minimums are 18 loaves per delivery and they can opt for one or two deliveries a week. I hope this helps!

      @@madarafarms - super helpful! honestly, almost seems like it's not worth it for me. Right now, I don't think I can manage making more than 16 loaves per day. I'd rather sell those at full price to individuals, than at wholesale price to a business. Once I can manage making more loaves, I'll think about selling wholesale to business clients.
