Susan's Sourdough under glass method...
done with a stainless steel bowl because my loaves were too large for the pyrex. Unfortunately, my round boule's slash pattern got ruined because I hit the top of it with the lip of the bowl trying to fit it in the oven over the loaf. I did get tremendous spring, more than I've ever gotten. My crust if soft though. I didn't put my pan of water in the bottom of the stove, thinking that the water that I rinsed the bowl with would provide some steam. The stainless steel bowl is a lot easier to handle than the pyrex, but you give up the fun of peeking! Thanks Nancy..
Somehow I ended up with 2 pictures..sorry!
