My second pain au levain - 2 sourdough starters

Here's the crumb. For me the crust is a bit too thick and chewy. (old teeth). The outer skin got a bit dry during the final rise. I moistened it but next time I use a damp towel. This formula is also from Bread by J. Hamelman. It's got a good flavor with a bit of tang.

Love the bold bake! proof it in plastic bag. I use a kitchen trash can liner or just plastic shopping bag from the grocery. Well done and Happy baking

Perfect crumb.

i use a kitchen tea towel sprayed lightly with some water or some plastic wrap sprayed with cooking spray.
