Sourdough Batard Lid Pull - Ancient Grains Sourdough #sourdoughbread #sourdoughstarter #bread #food

The Thrill of the Lid Pull! There’s nothing quite like that moment when you pull the lid off your sourdough mid-bake and get your first glimpse at the magic happening inside. The oven spring, the crackling crust, and—if all goes well—that beautiful ear standing tall! This is the moment where all the hard work pays off—the careful fermentation, the precise scoring, and the perfect balance of steam and heat. Seeing that bloomed belly means your dough had the strength to rise, your shaping was on point, and your starter did its job. And let's be honest, it’s also just so satisfying to watch. Do you love the lid pull moment? What’s been your most exciting reveal?
