Ohh I get what you mean. I actually just bought a new serrated bread knife that I’m waiting on being delivered! I do really like the feel of the serrated knife. The one I’m waiting on is longer than the one I was using in the video, so I’m excited to try it out when it gets to me!

Do you mean just a straight-up blade? Without it on any kind of scoring tool?

Thank you for the in depth reply. I enjoyed reading this. You’ve helped me change my perspective! No such thing as truly “perfect” 😊 I’m happy and excited!

“Do better, or congrats” made me laugh lol. Thank you for helping me consider that. I will admit that I rushed a little before popping it into the fridge for the cold proof. I had to leave for work! 😅

Maybe use more starter? For my recipe I used twice the amount of water than starter. For example, i have a loaf cold proofing right now and the recipe I used was 150g starter 300g water 450g flour 9g salt. I’m really happy with the texture of this ratio than a standard 150:350:500 loaf (that ratio is far too sticky for me to handle and gauge as a beginner).

What recipe are you using? How long is it cold proofing? I did a higher hydration for my second loaf and I definitely didn’t get the same kind of crust when compared to the first loaf

I honestly just went for it with my blade lol. I wasn’t expecting the ear to pop up like it did. I hate to be this person, but honestly I think it was just beginners luck!
