@Spiderwrangler...Those are some nice looking bread loaves. Sourdough apparently?

Nope, it's a kneadless dough though... long rise time followed by high moisture initial bake to develop thick crust, then drier bake to brown it up.

Spider -

Doing a similar bread thing, playing with stored kneadless dough, 5 minute kneading followed by a rest/rise and bake. I add hot water to a heated boiler pan for the baking to get a nice crust ....... how are you baking them when you say a high moisture initial bake followed by a drier bake?

I do a rise in food storage containers overnight and during the next day, then turn them out on a floured surface (very wet and sticky at this point), fold it a few times (still no kneading), let it rest, transfer it to a large floured mixing bowl and let it rise for 2 hours, then it goes into a Dutch oven for the initial bake, then the cover comes off and it finishes baking.

So you basically bake the bread in a closed pot in the oven to keep the moisture contained then open to finish baking. Never seen that technique before! Might be easier than my plans to build a steam injector for the oven from our old Shark steam cleaner .......

Yup! It works real well. I baked 5 or so this past week, each one weighs in between 3 - 3.5 lbs.
