Weekend Bake; Ottawa Sourdough

Toast

Been working on my own sourdough formula named after where I live and from where the culture was grown. It's not finished so I won't be releasing the formula just yet.

Turned out very well this time although I think I need to increase the hydration a tiny bit as I want a more holey crumb. Maybe make the levain a bit more stiff for increased sourness too.

On another note, I'm moving to Toronto in 5 or so weeks for my 2 year Baking and Pastry course. My new apartment only has a small gas oven. I hear those don't work too well for bread baking. Oh well I guess the huge steam injection ovens at school will have to suffice haha.

Any bread that nice is ready for prime time! Love the scoring and nicely done crust.

Beautiful loaves, great crust and crumb.  Now where's the butter or brie? And, I second, bring on the recipe----you tease!

Beautiful breads!!  Where are you going to school in Toronto?  George Brown?
