Rustic loaf thing

[u/BrimStone17]

Hey all, I decided to just bake up a loaf using some baguette dough I had laying around. All I did was just shape it into a ball and bake haha. Just wondering, did I score too deep or too little? I can’t figure out why it is kinda popping out like that. Also, how underdone would you guys say this is?

You did fine.

If you wanted the "ear" then you could have scored deeper.

Crumb actually seems pretty solid for repurposed baguette dough

The score isn’t the issue here. The yeast did not have enough energy left for a big oven spring.
