and inspiration. last night it came out of the oven and I couldn't stand it, I had to cut into it. It only cooled for about 20 minutes before I cut it. IT HAD HOLES!!!! Yeah!!! Finally, holes, a crispy crust and a nice sour flavor. Be still my heart smileys/smile.gif I can't believe that I baked a good loaf of bread, amazing.

Thanks to everyone here, you all always inspire me to try new things!

 
Cheers to the Holes!

Wonderful feeling to see that open crumb, isnt it?

I remember so well my first "non-hockey-puck", it was a major thrill!

Now, make another one, and let it cool completely, it will be even better! smileys/wink.gif

 
Great news! Did you slather it with butter that melted into those holes?

Can you tell I've been dieting?

 
Yes, it was definitely better once it cooled. I could taste more of the sour flavor. Thanks Sally,

I am very excited and am going to start on the next "batch" so that it will be ready to bake Sat morning. Gotta practice it again, and maybe again!, so I know I've got the tecnique for sure smileys/smile.gif

 
that's the way! smileys/wink.gif

I made two sourdough breads this past weekend, one shaped as a batard, the other a boule, ended up cutting the boule in half and giving to a friend

never seen a man so happy! ;-0

and it helps cutting down the temptation to over indulge
