The Godfather
All praises be to Allah, the Godfather bread is good.
So fucking good, in fact. A total triumph of breadmaking: crisp, shiny, gorgeous crust and a warm interior with big bubbles and great taste. It's gonna be my standard loaf for now. Jesus, it's good. And more than good, it's pretty. A showpiece. Fucking right!
The premature sourdough is cute, with uneven ovenspring that makes it look like it has an erection. I haven't cut it yet, but the crust feels pretty rough. I shoved a thermometer into it's bowels and only got it up to 190 F. Hopefully it is done all the way and looks pretty as well. I'm happy that it rose, showing the health of the Joe starter. Next adventure is seeing how it tastes and develops. I should have put the loaf in a dutch oven or covered pot to improve the crust. Next time!
I'm going to start a 3x poolish for more of the Godfather bread. Oh, it is so fucking good with jam. Life makes sense again.
