One loaf going to our neighbor who cleared out our driveway with his snow blower, one as a gift, and one to keep to use bread crumbs in my meat balls then to make and bake another 15 or so loaves for famoly holiday gathering this weekend.
I hope your day is good.

These look unreal🤩🤩🤩
Nice job chef.
Goodness gracious. They look amazing.
Dumb question. What does levain mean?
And what’s does the 1:3:3 ratio mean
Kick-ass!
These look good enough that I’m shocked no one has asked if it’s AI or enhanced in some way. They are real and they are spectacular.
You rule!
What temp did you bake at? These are gorgeous !
wow this is beautiful- the color! what temp do you bake at?
God these look beautiful.
Are you doing something extra to get that exaggerated ear?
Flawless
Mine come out shaped similarly but the outside generally has flour patches on it from sitting in the banneton. How do you get the outside so clean!?
Pretttttyyyyy 😍🥖
Do you score your dough before putting in the oven or do you wait a few minutes, take out of oven, deep ear score, and return to oven?
Are you mixing each loaf separately?
Using for breadcrumbs? That feels like a waste to me.
Absolutely beautiful! I wonder how deep did you score them? Those ears look great!
How deep are you scoring?
Looks beautiful! I’m starting my first starter on Jan 1, wish me luck
These are beautiful 😍 Can you elaborate more on what your mix and proof process looks like?
Spectacular!
Incredible loafs.
Bread crumbs…get real. I’d eat the whole loaf with butter and salt. That’s the proper way to honor it…
Ugh i would kill to get an ear like these one day
These look amazing – may I know your oven settings? I’ve been struggling to get a good oven spring without using a Dutch oven. I’ve tried spritzing the loaves with water and generating steam with lava rocks but nothing seems to work!
These are beautiful!!! 🥺❤️
The Triforce of Bread. Stunningly magnificent!
