Right, I'm following the Tartine Bread workflow using about 4 hour RT rise. I do agree with Jerry that a pronounced ear can make slicing difficult, but it sure makes a nice presentation. And Hans, you are using a CF and getting dramatic looking ears so I know it's possible - so just trying to figure out what variable to adjust.

I’m with you. I like the look of the ear. I wish I knew the secret! My results are not consistent. I may be wrong but I think final shaping may be key.

This has been discussed at length elsewhere, but one thing I know for sure regarding my Tartinish loaves. If I'm make a single large batch of dough to bake multiple loaves, one at a time, the ear is more pronounced on loaves that have proofed for less time.

That's a definite possibility. In both cases, the dough appeared to have risen higher in the banneton than for my RT rises. I'll watch out for that next time.

Between this beautiful bread and that molten chocolate over in the sweets thread you’ve had quite a day, Hans! Very nice, my friend.

Thanks Tony. The sweets are for my chocolate loving girlfriend and my sourdough is the only non gluten free bread that she can tolerate.

I just mentioned your findings on SD and your girlfriend to my Dad at dinner last night. Interesting and a great discovery for you both. It’s getting close to Valentines Day and I need to come up with something for my chocolate loving wife, like many people here.

Part of our Valentines D7ay dinner. Straight bread flour this time. Dust on the outside is semolina. Crust and crumb were both very good.
Edit to show interior and to show last call for snack. I gotta be up 530 am.

Thanks so much, Hans. Granddaughter loved the soft, chewy, and flavorful interior. I want to make this with her soon. She will be 5 in late July but has seen a lot of kitchen work. Her dad took care of her crust, though she ate part of it. It would have been too tough for most kids.

Got a new book delivered. Got it used for cheap, and it looks a little rough on the outside, but it appears to have never been opened on the inside!

When I close my eyes and imagine the perfect loaf of bread. It looks a lot like that one.
