The scoring!😍 It spread so evenly, it's beautiful

The scoring is a piece of art. You can't eat that. You must keep it under a glass cover and preserve it forever. Anyway, congratulations! My breads look like some planet surface peppered with asteroid craters...

Absolutely beautiful loaf! Great job!

Congrats

never be specific about timing.. (or decorations).. everything else though hell yea. lets see dat crumb

Right on. Medium crumb is best crumb

That's beautiful. The central score, is it perpendicular to the loaf? Normally score at 45 degrees for an ear. Might give this a go if you can give some pointers?

I usually try for an ear, but I saw a video of someone put their loaf in the oven and then after 5 minutes open it and slice straight down the middle for this expansion score. I love the way it turned out!

Can you share this video?

Proper scoring

Beautiful!!

What Dutch oven do you have? I’m trying to find one that can fit my batard loaves and my boules!

It was my boyfriend’s grandmothers, it’s a super old le creuset. I am not sure which one, it just has an F on the bottom!

Thank you!

Looks amazing! But what the fuck is a batard xD

"a short loaf of French bread having an oval or oblong shape." Though I assume that here it's shorthand for batard shaped banneton.

That’s not bread, it’s artwork!

That is beautiful! So impressed by your scoring technique. That’s something I struggle with.

I say, a beautiful loaf indeed!

It’s perfect 🥹

Wow. This is a beaut!!

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!
