sourdough

I never get a good ear on my sourdough loafs and can't figure out why

I feel like my score is pretty deep, and I spray some water to create steam which I read should help. Any ideas?

I like baking /goodbread and building apps on web3 protocols. DevRel @ ENS Labs. gregskril.com

Result is encouraging, to help create the ear you need to have a tight final shaping meaning create enough tension in your dough during the last shaping… also with your lame do not go too deep (I know counter intuitive) and do it with an angle of 45 degrees.

Looking at this picture you are spraying  probably too much water… we can see on the bottom left corner of the picture the “bad” effect with the excess flour… maybe try with some ice instead… but this extra steam is normally not necessary ina Dutch oven.

do not hesitate to cook a bit more your bread Dutch oven open and have a beautiful crust! Overall I found your bread quite encouraging
