I agree. The crumb looks perfect, or a bit better.

Your altitude on the learning curve is getting to where you are going to need oxygen pretty soon.

Very nice, love the look of the inside and outside. Great work.                   weavershouse

You did an outstanding job on your loaf.  The crumb is, as you said: "spot on"...absolutely beautiful.

<Blush> Thanks

I think in the future I may try to bake this in a loaf tin for a sandwich-style light rye. Anyway it was a proof of concept more than anything...something which I hope to take advantage of in my next project (the ol' high-extraction miche)
