Stuffed

Ok, so I've had sourdough pancakes, waffles, rolls, and today decided I was going to camp out at home and delve into the sourdough bread round. I must admit I was a bit skeptical. I've been studying the sourdough breadmaking process for a few weeks now and have been putting it off because it sounds like such a pain! I've made lots of bread from scratch but nothing requires this much babying. I feed the starter on my counter overnight, the rising for sourdough is double what it is for "bought yeast" bread, I egg washed the bread, I cornmealed the pan, I put a cup of water in the bottom of the oven, I sprayed the ovenwalls and floor with a fine mist of water while it baked (every 2 minutes for the first 10).....And all the while I'm thinking....is this worth it? See for yourself :) Picture #2 was taken 1-hour later.
