      Looks pretty bloody good to me.

      Despite being flat, mine was tasty, with a decent crust and acceptable, if unspectacular crumb:

                  Jeez, the standards are consistently high here, the breads I've been seeing posted look incredible, totally with @den1mhead and @dinobarnesberlin

                  Ken Forkish must be doing alright out of this thread. On the strength of the pictures here, I ordered myself a copy of this book a few weeks back. Mainly because I love to cook and lets face it, I have some time on my hands, and that my bread making hasn't ever exceeded that of pizza dough. My book is still two weeks away, so its great to see and hear the high's and low's of trialling a new skill. (pun intended) 🙂

                    Still more fortune then skills… this one didn't perform well during fermentation absolutely no rise... shaping was a mess and I already expected another failure... but then to my surprise it did very well in the oven...

                        this is equal parts starter, flour and water. rested at room temp for 6 hours, cut and formed. then is rested for another 30 minutes before an egg wash, sprinkle of pink salt and then baked for 25 minutes at 425.

                        we had grass fed highland cattle beef hot dogs but no buns, so the vessel got the primo treatment as well.

                          Fuuuuucckk

                          Well… ok

                          Quite nice result but that one was really tricky and sticky. High hydration  ::)

                                My sourdough levain for todays bake was also in top, top form… smelt and looked fantastic. It is a great way to start the day.

                                    Looks good G!

                                    Today was the day! Made sourdough yesterday and let it rise in the fridge overnight.

                                    Think it doesn't look half bad! Definitely learnd a few things along the way and can make some changes for next time

                                        You lot are amazing. I need to give baking bread a go. I've baked rolls before, but there isn't too much skill involved there for basic rolls.

                                          Banneton’s are waiting at the post office… but who needs them.

                                          Resisted the temptation to wimp back to tins, improved my shaping technique, introduced a pan of water to the oven and was more mindful of time on the bulk ferment. The result is pleasing.
