I’ve been going for the ear forever, and I finally got it! Definitely the nicest loaf I’ve made so far. It was really all about creating tension. I did one cut a half inch deep, and then I did an extra cut to make a bit of a flap. I also put two ice cubes in the Dutch oven.
Very excited!

Beautiful 😍
Congrats on your first ear!
TWO BUNNIES!!
There also must have been a ton of steam in the oven because I really flowered the top and now it’s all gone
Aww they’re kissing
Looks wonderful. Well done!
Beautiful loaf. But I’d suggest experimenting with longer bake times. I drop the temp down when I uncover so it doesn’t get overly crisped on the ear – but the flavor REALLY improves with a longer bake. Just guestimating, I’d say an extra 10 minutes.
What does it mean to create tension?
