Hello! I hope you are staying safe and health in these crazy times.
I’m new to the world of sourdough, so I don’t know if my results are any good. This is my second attempt. I found the crumb to be so fluffy, but the crust lost its crispiness as it cooled so it became chewy.
When you finished baking turn of the oven open the door and leave the loaf in for about 20 minutes.
The let it cool on a rack.
I am using one from y microwave.
Thank you soo much! I’ll try that, and what about the crumb? Is it okay?
The crumb of your loaf looks fine.
From crisp to tough and then softens after a couple of days. The crust will blend with the crumb and to me the flavor improves as it ages. You should try to bake it a little darker next time to see if that helps things.
Cover the exposed parts of crumb with foil, mist quickly with water and toss onto a hot oven rack for 5-10 minutes to crispen the crust. Serve immediately.
Thank you will try that! How is my crumb? Is is okay?
The browning is even all around the crust. So Oven position is good too. A wild cut but taste is most important.
I might have cut it a bit too early, but thank you so much for your advice! It really was helpful. Can’t wait to bake another loaf soon!
