I use the Ben Starr recipe. And this is probably my prettiest loaf I’ve made. My initial loaves sucked but I think it was due to my starter being too immature. I need tips on better ears. Is it the angle of the deep score? No crumb shot as it’s still cooling

    Nice!!! I’ve started watching his videos recently. Very intriguing.

  3. The angle of the blade matters a lot for the ear, as does having a tightly shaped loaf. Taught outer area helps the ear pull back farther.
