More Sourdough Loafs

Opening day for our farmers mkt is coming fast on the 13th.

Gotta get busy.

Couple sourdough loafs today.

I cool on the sides so the top dont collapse.

Lookin good. You'll be selling bread like crazy this year.

Pretty cool loaf pans. I'm just now dipping my toe in the sourdough world. Interesting that everything I have been following, instructions wise, uses a baking vessel with a lid, like a dutch oven. Baking initially covered, then uncovered. Those loaf pans dont look like they have a lid, is that correct? Or are they just not in the pics?

You are making more "sandwich slice" loaves there, where a lot of what I've seen are more artisanal shapes with a fairly hard crust. Not the best shapes for sandwiches, but great for bread on the side.

These are Lodge cast iron loaf pans, no lids unless you invert one on the other.

Love the loaves Rick, I can't stop making the sandwich bread , it is just wonderful.


Should have used my other pans as these were 9" x 5" made them too fat for my toaster, but ok for CI grilled cheese.

. I'm just now dipping my toe in the sourdough world. Interesting that everything I have been following, instructions wise, uses a baking vessel with a lid, like a dutch oven.

The idea is , the lid / enclosed vessel traps the steam and keeps the surface moist . That helps it to " spring " more . That moment when you take the lid off is highly anticipated at my house .

I do a lot of open baking just on a stone too . I spritz with water before going in the oven , then spritz again at 3 minute intervals , 2 times .

Thank you,
What was wrong with them ? Did they not show up at other end ?

Thank you Rick.

I did that as I did not want to hijack your post with my pictures being large.

But thank you.
