I know it’s called an “ear”, but why is it so big? The first two pics are my bread, the third is the look I’m going for. Is this a scoring issue or a proofing issue?
Ingredients:
500g bread flour
375g water
100g starter
14g salt
BF 6 hours to 75%
Cold proofed 18 hours
Baked 450 30 min-covered; 400 15min-uncovered

Your score is perfectly angled to get a big ear. If you prefer to not have the big ear just score more straight down and not as deep.
That’s the highly sought after ear. Beautiful loaf.
Sorry, to be unhelpful but I think it’s hilarious how many posts on here are trying to get exactly what you have here and you don’t like it.
Sounds like a gift of the magii situation.
I really want to bite that ear like I’m fighting Evander Holyfield.
I think if you scored “longer” the expansion would take place over a bigger space and possibly be less pronounced? Does that make sense?
Looks great.
What does bf mean?
BEAUTIFUL
It looks like it is laughing
That is an absolutely stunning loaf
So it can swim better?
That fin is actually desirable to bakers because it means you did things right.
Do you have a recipe?!
I prefer lots of little cuts.
