The Voldemort (I know that's not the name but that's what it has morphed to) still has a very crunchy outside which makes it quite unpleasant to chew. So I took the half loaf I still have (the other half has gone to the rug rat's sitter) and placed it in the Cuisinart Steam Oven and steamed it at 100º F for 30 minutes. Went a long way towards fixing the hard bits. Probably would benefit from a longer steam and perhaps warmer.
Next loaf will be the modernist Voldemort - it's shaped as a boule but I want to bake it in the same pullman pan so I can compare apples to apples. I'm eyeing the pumpernickel as a near future loaf.
