interesting that you bring up Raymond Calvel
two points :
what does MBr say about flour on the finished bread ?
and those tiny cracking bubbles on the crust ?
RC had strong opinions on both subjects I recall.
and Im not in any way bering critical of the above two loaves
or or less first come scrolling up on this thread
nor those who baked them
Id gladly enjoy each loaf
right now
my copy is said to be out for delivery.
