Zeb's boule in a pot
Inspired by Franko and many others, here I am joining in finally with the baking in a pot theme. This dough went straight into a hot enamel lined cast iron pot, no parchment, no oil and came out clean as a whistle.... plus I must mention Dr Fugawe's awesome home grown Oregon starter (Grapplestein) which has emigrated safely to the UK and raised this one for me! I still don't know how to get those pointy slash ends, maybe I should start the slashes higher up or not cut so deep? Joanna @ Zeb Bakes
Pic below is a crumb shot of my first attempt at using a pot the day before (which was a smaller loaf and higher hydration) The dough is a straight sourdough with a mix of strong white flour, spelt, rye and swiss dark flour, a little yoghurt, a spoonful of organic barley malt and seasalt

Joanna that's a great looking boule , including the slashing, pointy ends or not.
Nice bake and well done!
Franko
It's a dramatic boule ! good color and big hole .
Thanks Franko and Daisy A and Happylina for your kind words, it means a lot coming from you. This forum is such a wealth of knowledge and experimentation - just lovely!
....and thanks whoever sorted out the mess I made with the posts too (blush).
