Looks very nice. Crumb is like mine. Not so open like some, but not very dense either. I'd be happy to have my bread turn out like that each time, aside from my preference for a thinner crust.
The only comment I have is that it seems like the crust is much darker on one half. Is that what you expected? Maybe it's the light.
Actually, after going back and looking, it seems pretty evident that one side of the loaf was getting a lot more heat than the other. It seems to have sprung more and is quite a bit darker.
like a fine wine. Love the bold bake. Well done and happy baking
Absolutely gorgeous!
