My second Artisan Loaf
Ok, so the first loaf was horrible. I baked it on a stone, and it didn't brown. I basically didn't bake it long enough. Here is a picture of my second attempt. I baked it in my Cuisinart 2 quart saucepan with lid, sprinkled with a bit of cornmeal, at 500 degrees [30 min. lid on, 20 min. lid off]. It turned out very nice and was a great texture. However, I felt it was a bit bland and will add some sourdough starter next time. I also need to work on the scoring I think. It was very crusty and I like that, but not very pretty, I guess. Need to keep practicing!
