Sorry for the blurriness. I like how dramatically this loaf rose out of the markings I etched in the top (with my own lil' flat razor!), but the burnt crust was a result of me using a too high temperature. Ah well, it's toast for me for the rest of the week!
Cut open, the loaf revealed a perfectly done inside, with a nice array of bubbles!
Looks like a cave, don't it? Stalagtights and stalagmights and all that good stuff. Only this is better. 'Cause you can EAT IT.
I put some earth balance (a vegetable-based spread I use in place of butter) on this slice...
Pretended I was a silver-screen star...
and took a photo of it. I love love love how the spread and the lighting make the bread look like gold!
What was interesting about this loaf was that I added a bit too much water in the beginning, so it was a very wet, heavy, and sticky loaf for the whole process. I rose alright in the oven, but it was a very small, and round loaf. I'll add less water next time, and play around with the hydration level of the dough.
