Beautiful loaf and lovely crumb. Must be that time of year because I've also been on a seeded loaf kick recently. I had to stop putting the seed mixture on the outside of the loaves though because they were getting everywhere, scattered all over the kitchen, every time we sliced into them! Now I just stick to including them in the dough ;-). Nice post!
I’ve realised it too when slicing, lol, seeds are everywhere, but one thing I’ve noticed is that it’s easier to release after baking.
A very appealing loaf. Love the crumb as it looks so delicious. I concur with naturaleigh, I stopped putting seeds on the outside. My favourite seed bread is Hamelman's five-grain levain.
Have been putting a lot of seeds outside for my recent bakes, but yup it’s flying everywhere when slicing.lol
Very nice and that crumb looks perfect! On the pre-ferment... Cold water and then 12-14 hours at room temp?
Yes 12 to 14 hours at room, over night would be perfect.
Gorgeous loaf Carlo. The seeded crust is beautiful as is the crumb. Must be delicious.
