What is Dan the Baker's shaping method?

It’s folding the dough like an envelope and grabbing the two ends and fitting it right in the banneton, he’s one of the baker I follow in IG, I should edit that I think.. thank you!!

It's hard to beat the flavor of walnuts and cranberries. Nice crumb, considering all the inclusions. A lovely loaf.

That is beautiful!!  I haven't branched out to adding inclusions yet, but was musing about this same combination just this morning. Soon.... 

Meanwhile, a question: Have you ever used any sort of flavors in the water portion? Was thinking about using room temperature apple cinnamon herbal tea, but I'm not sure if that flavor would carry through to the final bread.

I did the same using the same recipe, experimenting and practicing before doing inclusions, that’s a question using flavoured water, but I haven’t done any like that, I wonder if there Will be an effect with the dough?

I’ve added tea in place of water in past bakes and it didn’t add much flavor.  It’s worth a try but unless it’s very strong flavored it won’t make much of a difference.

I found coffee to add a lot more flavor and beer definitely.
