    • Looks like your starter was pretty lively.Continuity
    • It was kicking! I recently moved and had to say goodbye to it. I'm starting a new one once I get properly settled.palimpsest
    • looks fucking great. i can never be bothered to go through all the rigmarole to achieve that level.hans_glib
    • mr "no-knead shove it in a tin and wait for a few hours" is more my style. no glamour, but tastes great.hans_glib
    • Ace!OBBTKN
    • I would love to get back to sourdough. Paused on it after the kiddo was born, hope to get back in the future but just can't be bothered right now sighskwiotsmith
    • Great sourdough bread is one of life's great pleasuresdkoblesky
    • the Swiss cheese of breadKrassy
    • Who TF is DVing sourdough bread?Continuity
    • Great ears, looks tasty. Slightly overbaked?ben_
    • I like my baguettes "pas trop cuites" but I believe sourdough needs a hint of ash on the ears.palimpsest
    • Since my move I found a "nordic" bakery close to home. Their crust is really dark but thicker so there's still some moisture left inside.palimpsest
    • If I had my made my crust as dark as my bakery's the crumb would have been ruined. Is it the oven?palimpsest

      The content doesn't matter. There is no content. There is no context.

    • What's the flour you used? I'm really inclined to guess ryeContinuity
    • No, it's 100% wheat, there's only rye in the starter. It's Organic bread flour T65 (French classification. I'm a madlad I have the exact recipe for that one daypalimpsest
    • The colors are off because of the shitty camera and lighting, it was less redish and a bit lighter.palimpsest
    • Ahaaa, gotcha.Continuity
    • I am baking bread this year, too. I‘m a CoVid bakerman.SimonFFM
    • Gotta make that dough by any means necessary.palimpsest
    • P, fair... so do I. That bakery you're used to likely has a great stone oven that your's (or mine) can't match.ben_
    • Do any of you lot use something like a 'pizza steel' in your ovens?Nairn
    • Dutch oven for bread. Pizza steel on the top rack for pizza.palimpsest
    • @Nairn Well, the pizza steel helps a bit, but it can never make a home oven reach the kind of hellish temperatures a stone wood oven gets to.Continuity
