first loaf after a long time

Toast

I got lazy during the pandemic and stopped baking for a while.  I left my starter in the fridge for 6 months or so without feeding.  This week I decided to see if I could revive my starter (his name is carl).  Fortunately, after a few feedings, Carl perked right up and produced a nice looking loaf.  Here are some glamour shots.

It's essentially the Tartine Country Loaf recipe, though I add some rye flour (around 50g).

Beautiful! Looks like Carl didn't mind the time off, lol. Looking forward to seeing the crumb, and most important, your taste test results!
