Hi Rudi,
I am glad you enjoyed it. Kaki is the name which I was familiar with in my childhood instead of persimmon. I like the looks of your boule crust and crumb. They look appetizing! Good idea adding the biga to the dough. Got try that! I bet it would change flavors and texture.

my family ist absolutly enthusiastic about it! crust, crumb, colour, taste, everything! :D
for me, biga is one of my most favorit preferments because of the relativ low hydration. I always do autolyse and then I try to have all the preferments, levain, etc., with not so high hydrations to have enough water for a complete autolyse. with a poolish or a liquid levain I have more problems though!
since Abel's "90 %" I have an other point of view to the benefits of 'la biga'! ;-)
happy baking and good luck with your biga!

How did that crust colored so evenly? The crumb shots looks so tempting!
'colored so evenly?'
sorry, I dont know! :(
this color, this yellowish-golden, glossy shine is new, I never had it bevore!
the gloss is the effect of my special oven. my oven is a kind of prototype of a 'combi steamer' for household use and he is relative old, but with this 'steamer' I can do a very special technic in baking with steam and so I get this glossy crust.
but this colour is new and I think it could come from the kaki - persimmon in the dough.
this 'evenly' may come from baking in convection mode, what I most time do.
'tempting', yes, it IS! VERRY!
best regards!
