Aside from your formula  and method which look really good, how did you do that scoring?   Fantastic!  -Varda

Many thanks Varda,

I did 4 small cuts (8 cm / 3.5 inch) circular om the top of the loaf and two larger on the outside with a scoring knife ..........The result is similar to a rose with the help of  oven sprig

Nice crumb too for 100% durum.  A flour AI have little experience with.  I think I used to make a Challa with durum wheat some time ago but thats it.

Makes me think I need to try out durum, folks seem to be turning out gorgeous loaves with out, but I haven't seen any with that scoring pattern before.

Would be perfect fo some Desert Durum If I can find some more!  Love the scoring and the bold bake.

Well done!

Like many others have said - beautiful scoring and crust color too.  Very pretty loaf of bread.  Almost would hate to cut into and eat such a masterpiece.

Thanks for sharing.

I am in complete awe!  I want to bake this soon, I hope this weekend. Your scoring is absolutely beautiful, you made a masterpiece of a loaf!

 

I need to find the right flour,  though... hope it's available in town

Hi everyone, a quick question

 

do you think this flour will work?

 http://www.hadleyfruitorchards.com/product/semolina-flour-no-1-durum-wheat-bobs-red-mill

 

it's the only one I have here in town (and in fact, in my pantry!)

Hi Sally,

I guess tha Semolina it's not good for bread loaf, that is perfert for pasta and similar. You have to find the Semola di Grano Duro  RIMACINATA...... the  word RIMACINATA make the difference .....I can't help you because I'm Italian ( and you brasilian ....is't it ?? ) try to get on line the semola rimacinata and you wil be great with the Bread ....

Grazie mille!  (yes, I am originally from Brazil)

Ok, I will have to then wait a little - I found a source for it online, coming from New York City, but they don't ship it right away, unless I would pay more than 50 bucks for the shipment, which I rather not.

 

I placed an order for it, and this weekend will make some other sourdough, but I might try your scoring, it is reallly the most beautiful effect I've seen in a looong while!

 

thanks for your input!

You can buy King Arthur Flours Durum flour.  Make sure you buy the correct one per the link here :http://www.kingarthurflour.com/shop/items/king-arthur-extra-fancy-durum-flour-3-lb#3480#

I bought the other style which is only good for pasta but i put it in my coffee grinder and make it finer and it works fine.

Very nice bread!  The scoring is very inspiring and I am sure the flavour of that crust is something to crave as well.  Great bake.

... finally made this bread, it is singing (loudly) as it cools on the rack

Let's say I had a little trouble with the scoring, my flower doesn't qualify as such, but I'm hoping for a 'random-rustic" approach  ;-)

Maybe you could make a little tutorial on your next rose bread?  

Smells wonderful...
