🍞 Opal understood the assignment!👏✨
A little experimenting in the kitchen today, and I think we might be onto something BIG!
I've been playing around with a new way of baking my sourdough — saying goodbye to the Dutch ovens and giving open baking a try!
Different hydration levels, a new scoring technique, and a whole lot of steam later… just LOOK at these beauties! 😍
Opal showed up ready to work, and these loaves certainly didn't disappoint!
Still a little more experimenting to do, but if all goes well, this could be a game changer for Maple Grove Farm & Bakery! More beautiful loaves, more efficient baking days, and endless possibilities! ❤️
Sometimes the best things come from stepping outside your usual routine and trying something new.
