Cold ferment: 12 h
Preheated oven to 300 °C (572 °F)
Steamed and lowered temp to 240 °C (464 °F) for 20 min. Lowered temp to 215 °C (419 °F) for the last 15 min. Left to cool for 30 min.
Flavor was great but tbh I would have liked a bit more tang. First time using a high extraction flour, very impressed. Bring a lot of flavor and nutrients without ruining the gluten.

With a sail like that, you could attempt an Atlantic crossing. Probably one of the best loaves I’ve ever seen.
Beautiful knife
I’m more impressed by your knife tbh, it’s a beautiful loaf though

GORGEOUS! I am envious.
Never mind the bread, let’s talk about your blade, Bilbo! Looks like it would be very handy when Orcs are about.
Are you using a wakizashi as a bread knife? If so, very cool.

So that’s what Samurai use to slice bread.
Love the knife!
