Here in the UK I am a member of another 'bread forum' which currently has a weekly competition for weekly 'Super Sourdough Champion'.......
Imagine my surprise to discover that this week the winner is ME ! :)

Sorry, had to tell someone about it!
:) :) :)
Congrats! Fun pattern on that one.
What a nice surprise for you!
fancy polka-dot plate! Way to go. You won a jar of their 60 year old starter too! Who said there wasn't a SD culture in the UK? You wiil get to see the difference someone elses's starter can make.
Happy SD baking with ancient starter!
Doing the happy dance for you :)
The scoring is very cool!
Great job.
What a perfect presentation with your lovely plate! Congratulations!
P.S. What kind of bread is this?
That is a really beautiful loaf that deserves the win!
- really love the scoring, well done.
Congrats! And I am totally stealing that scoring pattern, that's gorgeous.
for your lovely comments. To be honest this loaf was a 'normal' loaf that I only decided last minute to enter in the competition! I have tried every week for 6 weeks now so I was beginning to lose the faith ;)
Double edge razor blades ............ way to go!
Wow, that's such a nice recognition for a job well-done! Did they taste it too?
That is really cool, and a nice prize is icing on the cake!
I have been busy with work and house moving but this morning I had a chance to bake with my new 'old' sourdough that Hobbs House Bakery sent me last week.
One from my own starter a few days ago ......
Your scoring is so cool, love it :)
How did the 60 year old bread taste?
It tasted good, but my wife reckons my starter is better! (it's personal taste of course) :)
Wish I could create that, too! What flour did you use to coat the dough and the basket?
Hi Yippee, I use rice flour to coat the basket, I simply sprinkle some through a small 'tea sieve'.
It really does avoid 'stick ups' and I like the nice contrast with the bread flour :)
