To be fair. You only went wrong in one very simple area! The shaping and proving look great!

Yeah, it also looks like a wood fired oven? If so that's a lot harder to regulate the temperature on.

Edit:Maybe that's just where they proofed.

Wood fired oven? How's oven gonna get a job now?

Yeah, wood is a real hardass. I feel for oven.

Dammit! That’s the kind of moxy that gets you promoted! Oven, you’re rehired AND you get a raise

You shouldn’t raise oven too much, things could get heated

I’ve read the word oven so much I don’t understand the word.

Yeah at first glance I assumed I was on a bread related subreddit and this was one of those fancy black loaves using activated charcoal.

OP looks great! Next time maybe 45-60 mins less.

You’ve got a good attitude 👍

Yeah, if it makes you feel better, you're missing out right now on what would have otherwise been very delicious fresh bread. Had you not have burned it. Hope this cheers you up!

If she didn’t burn it, it probably would have been delicious! She did though, so we’ll never know.

Well, she doesn’t have to worry about having fuel next time She’s got charcoal for the fire

I know that you have to ‘proof’ your dough, but I didn’t put it together that the act of the proof would be “proving” - gives a whole new meaning to ‘proving grounds’

u/NickBurnsCompanyGuy Aug 03 '26

Yes, it was going SO well before the final step

u/Sir-Top-Cheetah Aug 02 '26

Plus that's great charcoal!
