I attended a sourdough baking course yesterday, and this is the result - hot out of the cast iron pot.

I'm usually on the consuming side of things, so it was nice to get a chance to learn the process and make it along a proper baker (although kneading by hand was a tough workout!).

I'll let it cool off a bit, and then get a slice with some cold salty butter :)

Deeper scoring too, but this is fantastic! Sourdough is not easy.

Thanks a lot! I agree, I was afraid to go too deep on the scoring. Our baker on the course had a cool scalpel like tool with just the right height on the blade, but at home I was limited to knives and scissors and I sort of errored on the side of caution.

I definitely feel that. Scoring deeply is pretty safe, I was always afraid of knocking gas out though with thicker knives or scissors.

If you like baking then id suggest buying a lame. I have this one and very happy with it but any razor really works.

Fair warning though I got really depressed and stopped baking so probably trust other bakers more than I 😅

That looks great, thanks for the suggestion! Hope you're getting better, I've had simliar periods in my life.
