Sourdough temperature experiment. I actually hit 202°F, even if the lying probe is lying. Pfft. Heated the oven to 500°F, then put the dough into the Dutch oven. Lowered temp to 450°F for 35 minutes, lid off for 7 minutes at 425°F. Took a bit longer, but I'm happy with the results :) #breadsky

Today's bake only hit 200°... but I think it's because I didn't take my dough out of the fridge early enough. The only downside to starting at 500° is how long it takes to heat up. >< Yes, you need a starter! :)

My starter died when I switched over to trying to figure out brioche. There’s only so much bread friends and family are willing to accept! Heat up time is a pain… and my spouse won’t let me install a deck oven in the kitchen.

I just got on my computer to research bread ovens, haha. I saw one, but it's $8k and way more than I need. I gave out ~4 loaves this week, most as half loaves. I'm sure, eventually, people will be less enthusiastic about more bread. But I still like fresh bread every day. ;)
