Crumb was not too wild on this one but still soft and squishy. High hydration dough that I slapped around way more than normal and I think I could feel the gluten development; it was easy to work with as a result. Seeds and honey continues to be my favorite flavor combination for sourdough. I want to figure out how to get my loaves to be more vertical! They have great oven spring but they only spring sideways lol.
