Back to straight sourdough

Profile picture for user loydb

After a brief dalliance with PR's whole wheat sandwich bread, I'm back to my traditional sourdough loaf (starter + water + flour + salt). These were around 80% hydration.The sandwich bread was delicious, but didn't keep nearly as well as the traditional loaf.

 

 

Wow! Those really look nice! The scoring is beautiful!!

Did you score all around the circumference on the one on the right to get it to pop straight up like that?

I really like the shape of the loaf. Perfect for sandwich bread. Is that a 1,000g loaf?

Nice job! The pictures look they were taken from a magazine.  :)

I couldn't even IMAGINE walking into a bakery and seeing that bread and... not walking out with a dozen of 'em!

I love the strength of those loaves! How are you fermenting them?? I mean... WOW!

Long and tall... to DIE for!

I understand you've been baking for 15-20 years. It really shows.
