a better baking day

[kindkit]

By 10 am I had pastry made and chilling in the fridge for the potato, cheese, onion and greens pie I'm making, and my bread almost ready to go in the oven. I feel all diligent and accomplished.

I got a really good rise in the bread, and nice oven spring, good color, etc. Here it is just out of the oven:






For once I think I got it to the right internal temperature so it won't be underbaked in the middle--it's a huge loaf, so that can be tricky--and it did that crust-crackling thing when taken out of the oven, which is also a good sign.

Well, maybe not, because if it turns out right I may post another picture once it's cut.

Yes, I am enjoying all the things I can do with my new phone.

That bread looks great. Is that a wheat sourdough? I've recently started baking bread again and I'm still fighting with crumb structure.

like a quiche? or a hand pie?

That bread is so pretty, omg. It must smell amazing. Your bread brag is totally righteous.
