              you are missing out with the lack of crouton usage. They are basically crunchy butter sponges. Melt some whole butter, toss in some garlic and herbs. Toss to coat the bread and season with salt and pepper. Bake at 350 convection for 15-20 minutes and then 250 for 30 minutes. Not just for salads. We toss ours with grilled vegetables for a burst of flavor and texture (great pairing for the preserved lemons too), and use can use them “as is” or crush them a bit to top Italian pasta dishes. And the are super snackable while rummaging for something to eat

              Going to do that tomorrow…..Thanks

                Gorgeous. Love the split and the shape.

                    You and my wife @Giles… she never uses a timer, and frequently regrets it. I admitted long ago that I’m forgetful and time everything in the kitchen.

                    Those look salvageable though, as long as they don’t have too bitter of a finish.

                      Started a Biga on Saturday night.  Come 16:00 yesterday, I just could not be bothered to shape and bake, so I popped the dough outside in the cold for the night.  The loaves have just gone into the oven, will be interesting to see how they fare with such negligence….

                          Looks like the loaves took care of themselves. I often Starr my sourdough at room temp and instead of baking that day, I’ll cold proof overnight in the fridge and pull it out in the A.M. it seems the dough takes care of itself, and when using the starter, the long proof, even at cold temps, adds even more sour flavor to the finished product.

                          However, unlike you I have a shit oven so yours look bakery quality, and mine look edible.

                              A few loaves from today. Caraway sourdough.

                                    Lovely looking loaves @jordanscollected

                                    My standard warm spot levain got doubled today, because it is the most luxurious bread I know of and will work well with the strong and varied flavours of a Norwegian xmas breakfast table (think lots of salted, cured fish and meat, pickled fruit and veg).

                                        Iron Heart gifts were thin on the ground this year (apparently I have enough), but I did get this:

                                        Seeing as I don’t use Dutch ovens, it should come in useful.

                                            A baking steel. Apparently more effective than a baking stone in a home oven. You can use it for pizza, bread, naan or whatever.
