Great job! Many would not consider that burnt at all, but if you prefer it less done you can adjust. It’s your bread!
Thr scoring is so lovely!
Looks great!
Preheat fridge, eh? That’s a weird fridge!
Joking aside, loaf looks great!
Bread looks awesome! Slow long strokes on the bread knife will make it easier to cut.
Good try. Keep trying!
Wow that thing is huge! Perfect and looks delicious, too.
Have a serious question please safe space lol.
Is there a reason people squish their breads on all these videos on social media? Does squishing the bread really hard show something about the crumb or is it just like a fun thing?
why are you cutting it like that?😭 it’s a serrated knife ffs
I love the shrug! lol. Good job! Much better than my 3rd loaf!!
Why the squeezing? What is that supposed to convey?
It’s beautiful! You did great!
Looks good. Slow long strokes with the bread knife will help make cutting easier. The squuezing of the bread gives me instant “influencer” vibes. There is no need to do that to your bread.
You are locking in on the sourdough, looks great, and I am sure it tasted great. Might be time to get a serious bread knife.
Looks great! Now learn to use a knife properly lol
Very cool loaf and cool complementary hoodie for the third dough!
