that looks SO good! what would I give for a slice of fresh bread with butter and some salt
Thanks for being so kind! Prepping bread so it comes out of the oven first thing Monday morning is one of the little things that helps me start the week on the right foot.
Sorry for being too explicit, but I can feel these pictures in my mouth. Nice slice of a fresh bread is so simple yet so enjoyable.
Sexy crumb shot!
Lovely crumb on it, it looks like it got a phenomenal rise! And what a wonderful ear the vent developed, the swooshing flourish is a good touch, you must have gotten a good bit of surface tension for it to peel back like that so well.
Thank you! I have spent a lot of time and energy learning how to get my loaves how I want them. Lots of surface tension and lots of lamination help to get the insides and outsides of the loaves to look like this.
The effort and practice really shows. Thanks for sharing.
Nice crumb and ear! What hydration? Guessing 75%?
Thank you, and you’re correct! I use the Tartine recipe ratios as a base but I have my own workflow that lets me get things done with about half the kitchen time.
Solid recipe, and really cool that you were able to halve the time without affecting the quality at all!
Great looking loaf! Baking is like dark magic to me.
