I added freshly ground chia seeds to the dough (white bread flour and ww).
I proofed the loaf in my new banneton.
I bought an oven thermometer and discovered that when my half-broken oven went bing, the temp was NOT 360F. It was 300F. I let the dang thing heat for another hour and it inched up to 350F.
Perhaps it took all of these changes to make my best loaf yet.
And that looks like a great crumb.
Very nice!
your loaf looks yummy!
btw, my oven also bings well before it's reached temperature. using an oven thermometer so i know when the oven is ready has made a big difference for me.
Great loaf! Well done.

with an oven that got to 500 F! Very nice indeed for 350 F loaf
