Sourdough Boule

So I have been solidly baking sourdough bread since I joined Stella back in April. Finally all the hard work has paid off. Below are a couple of photos that show the results I am now consistently achieving. I'm at the point now where I don't even rely on time so much anymore, but instead it's all about feel. It took awhile to finally grasp all the characteristics that my bread goes through during each phase and what it's telling me. It's so cool to listen to what it's telling you instead of timing it and coming up with mediocre results.
I think baking bread is the best, and coolest thing I have ever done! Man, it's addictive!
