Today's loaf and crumb, after 48 hrs in the fridge. Not quite as much oven spring as yesterday's bake. Might be a tad over-proofed - or possibly the result of the new Lodge Combo Cooker I used for this loaf. Interestingly, it did seem to produce a bit more color. My normal DO is just a large Le Creuset pot, which is much deeper than the Lodge. Perhaps the shallower top reflects more heat back to the loaf while it's covered? Either way, the crumb looks good to me and it was absolutely delicious! Had it with stuffed red and yellow sweet peppers from our garden allotment. 😋
