The Perfect Loaf

Yesterday after 5 months of testing and baking Pain Levain, I can say with confidence that I made the perfect loaf. Everything was there, taste, smell, texture and a good crust. Considering that I am making a loaf at a time in a pot, it's pretty amazing. I can only imagine what it's going to be like when I get to bake in a wood burning or a professional deck oven. I'm really happy and still have a long way to go, but these benchmark moments make the journey fun.

Congratulations! That must be a nice feeling. I hope you are able to sell at the farmer's market so we can have a taste!

It certainly looks gorgeous! How very satisfying to have everything come together. (I'm at the stage where I almost always get one of those components, sometimes a couple, but never all - not yet.) Your loaf is impressive and inspiring!
