Summer loaf-in

Our new house is normally on the chillier side (~64F) and I am still learning what this means for my wild yeast breads, which seem more sluggish now than in our sunnier former digs. 

Happily, this week's forecast is warm with a chance of oven spring! 

30% freshly milled whole wheat, 70% white, 85% hydration. Made with a levain, Chad Robertson-style.

I don't even get to 64 F in the summer!  You must lie in very cold climes instead of the AZ desert :-)  Being cold for longer should make for some very fine bread indeed  nice and sour.  Yours looks great on the outside.  Well done and 

Happy baking
