Great step by step. Fantastic looking crumb. Bread on the mountains sounds nice.

Kim: Great bread!! I will make this one again. Yes to the lovely Bay of Fundy, too!! I have made one visit to Nova Scotia and it was memorable.

Your bread came out so beautiful, perfect for the mountains. Great post!

Lovely loaf Kim. My loaf looked a lot like yours.. great post!

it's been almost 50 years since i went to the bay of fundy and dug clams on the beach. what you wrote about the bread is just how i feel about it. i'll have to make it again soon!

Sticky monster indeed. I did it on a very hot day and didn't add a lot of extra flour when turning it so it was wet indeed. But years of bread baking have taught me that the wet dough is the best bread, if you can keep it from collapsing.

Agree with previous comments… perfectly shaped loaf, it looks lovely sliced too.

Your bread has a perfect shape and lovely texture. Bet it tasted wonderful in the great outdoors.

Your bread looks amazing!! Looks very fluffy and light compared to mine..which at the other extreme. lol! somehow I don't know how to comment on your profile page..but I wanted to say that I love your picture! You look stunning and so natural. And apron too! ..you sure can put a lot of gadgets into the pocket of your apron ;)

Lovely loaf! It was a sticky monster alright. My go to aid with sticky doughs is a little bit of oil, not flour. That's what I used here too and it sure made it easier to work with. Enjoy your trip to the mountains. Sounds wonderful!
