      Just about what I was wanting to achieve….

      Looks good, although I don’t know whatvitnos supposed to look like. How do the Japanese eat it? I suspect it will be great with butter and jam.

        Looks like everyone has some good weekend bread going!

        I'm back on the sourdough train for the time being anyway.

        Apparently I must need to score deeper, my ears are super short. I've been using a razor

          It can be made with quite a lot of sugar, for sweet stuff, or little or none for savoury stuff….

          And this is what a good one looks like, so I have a way to go  🙂 🙂

          I did not knead the dough as per the recipe, but did a Forkish Pinch and fold - next time I'll knead.  Also one of these would have helped:

          So, I have one inbound….

              Similar to the sweet dough I use for Norwegian "bolle" and cinamon swirls. That replaces water with milk. I've only made that using regular kneading and large amounts of yeast. I think that less yeast and less vigorous dough manipulation will require lots of time for fermentation.

              @kkibbey23 lovely crumb on that bread. I prefer not scoring the bread at all and baking seam side up so you get rugged, more organic splits. These give a great ear. Also, have you considered baking dark rather than that blonde colour? I find it increases the flavour of the crust massively which creates a great contrast with the white flour sourdough.

                @neph93  thanks I'll have to try not scoring at all and see how that goes!

                Believe it or not, I actually pushed this for me a bit… you should have seen some of my other bakes[emoji38]… I agree I definitely need to push it a little more and go for darker color.

                I'll give it a try next weekend

                              @neph93 went a bit darker today. I gotta say I think it is a good bit better.

                              I need to push it more next time for sure. I also am starting to think about some different recipes, and maybe some whole weat etc.
