People at the office seem to like the bread. Not too many people around today and it was almost gone when I left.
I got frank feedback from a senior faculty member who seems to know something about food. First, it is not sour enough. The starter has been developing yeast well, but is not yet old enough to have the sourness from the bacteria. So time will hopefully address this problem.
Second, the crust is not hard enough. I need to mist the oven. Something I've thought about but didn't think I needed to do. I'm still not sure I want to do that but I'll keep thinking about.
Finally, it was a little underdone. I realized that too and planned to bake the next loaf another five minutes. Maybe I need to mist the oven to keep the crust from overcooking while it hardens.
On the plus side, he said it rose well, which he has never been able to do.
