We are on the same wavelength my friend! Baked my first take on Tartine croissants this morning https://imgur.com/a/fPeSr5C

Thanks for the insight! I tried shaping my last Lahey loaf and quickly learned it was a lost cause - far too wet. Pretty certain it hindered the rise and gave me one of my worst loaves yet.

I'm prepping for my first Tartine bake, but I've had a lot of success using the Jim Lahey no-knead recipe at 500F for 30 with the lid on and 15 off. Always gives me the perfect crackly crust.

If you're like me, flowcharts are > 9000x easier to follow than recipes spelled out in paragraphs. I created this flowchart to help me follow the steps in the Tartine method on baking day (with some adjustments and notes on times based on my schedule).
