I think I may need buy a shirt or something, just to get a bag of wonder yeast from @Giles

…man, everything looks fantastic!

...@neph93 why is the split so important when your loaves looks so good? Aesthetics?

[neph93]

@vaquero357:

Aesthetics?

That is it, yes. So it really doesn't matter at all. I have seven people living with me so my bread baking is a practical thing, but it is also a hobby and I like to get all nerdy. The split is cool as part of the fun is watching how your dough goes from a sticky mess to a firm mess, to shaped loaves, to finished bread. The oven spring (final rise), is the best part.

The rounded loaves that come from the baking steel are nice. They taste exactly the same as the loaves with a split and have the same height and crust, but the split is very satisfying.

Modern women like to say "get you a man who can do both". I cook, I do the laundry, I make bread, I raise the kids, I change tires, I shovel snow, I build shit, I fix shit, I drink, I swear, I fart. I like it that way personally. I don't use skin cream though, just to be clear.

Traditional gender roles are for chumps. Also: just because I don’t post pics don’t mean I’m not cookin’ [emoji6]

I have a problem with creams. Hate them. Hate using sun screen although I do, obviously.
