Profile picture for user evonlim

hello.. i like to share a sourdough bread baked by my lovely friend HK. i did mentioned and shared one of her loaf she made the last time. proud to say that i shared my starter with her. i can't remember how long ago, 6 months maybe. and she is baking marvelous bread since. one day, she asked me to recommend some bread books to buy. and i mentioned Ken Forkish and Peter Rainheart. i myself did not owned any but would love to one day. i did went through the reviews of the books at Amazon. and i liked both. any opinions or feedback about this bread book by Ken Forkish? 

this is the exact words she said: Just baked, my house smell like roast pork , hahaha!  

 

and she asked: You think the top burnt ? 

i replied no.. 

what do you think ?

to me, it is just lovely ...

That's just stunning! I don't think the crust is burnt at all.. I like all my loaves to be a little dark though, so maybe I'm not the one to ask.

Hi Evon, I don't think it looks burnt at all, it has a very nice color.  Not that it detracts at all, but it is a little surprising to see the flour remaining from the brotform browning.  Are you using a 50% rice flour mixture?

But it is boldly baked :-)  Nothing like a the smell of a roasting pig to make one hungry!  Bacon is the pig's gift to the world.

Tell HK she did well and wish her happy baking too!
