My first loaf that actually had an oven spring!!!


I think I finally nailed BF and my oven spring! So exciting. Every other loaf I did didn’t come out good. What do you think?

    Baked next morning, right from fridge into 450 degree preheated Dutch oven for 30min with lid on and 425 for 20 minutes with lid off. Let it rest an hour and a half… couldn’t wait to see crumb!
