looking bread.  I have never heard of the scalded flour method but I will have to try it now.  These look delicious!  How hot was your oven?

240-230 C with steam, as usual.

Can you tell us a little more, please? The hydration is about 85%, pretty wet. Do you do the regular stretch and folds at 30-45 minute intervals? And most importantly, how is the crumb and the taste?

Thanks

Yes, SCruz. About 2 hours of bulk fermentation, with stretch and folds every 45 minutes. Final proof about 1 hour. Nice structure of the crumb, good consistency, interesting crum moisture. I encourage you to prepare it.
