Weekend Bake; Ottawa Sourdough

Been working on my own sourdough formula named after where I live and from where the culture was grown. It's not finished so I won't be releasing the formula just yet.

Turned out very well this time although I think I need to increase the hydration a tiny bit as I want a more holey crumb. Maybe make the levain a bit more stiff for increased sourness too.

On another note, I'm moving to Toronto in 5 or so weeks for my 2 year Baking and Pastry course. My new apartment only has a small gas oven. I hear those don't work too well for bread baking. Oh well I guess the huge steam injection ovens at school will have to suffice haha.

RE: Weekend Bake

No apologies needed for those loaves.

Beautiful loaves, great crust and crumb.  Now where's the butter or brie? And, I second, bring on the recipe----you tease!

I totally agree this bread

I totally agree this bread looks amazing, home made, loving it. It's very rare to find someone who could bake it, all modern girls are into fashion.
