Bread - What are you baking today…..
-
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.

Renaissance men! 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]

…it seems to be my role in the Universe, to stir the pot so to speak.
...Dad was born in 1935 so, but his mother ( Grandma ) was a seamstress at the St.Paul Hotel and the first female union steward. That was back in the day when there was nothing but the traditional roles.
...have made my living in the food and liquor industry for the past 40 years. Married for 30, divorced for the last 5 ( and my ex is a great cook!) So man am I cooking!
...Giles, neph93 and Chap have given me another way to use my Le Creuset Dutch Oven and absolutely inspired me to give baking bread a shot but nothing that compares to what I see on this thread, incredible!
...here's proof that there's plenty of room for me to up my game.
Stripped bear for all to see! ???
