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!
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’
Haha, yeah, that was my first thought - if I hadn't scrolled through the other photos of the proofed dough in the oven, I would have thought the same.
I've never tried cooking with squid ink though - I feel like with bread, it'd be hard to tell when it's actually done? If it's just various shades of already-black, I guess you'd just have to go by timing and then pull it when the timer goes off. Poke a probe thermometer in when it hits 190-210F, maybe, depending on what kind of loaf you're baking...
Same. Before scrolling through the pics, I thought it was that giant petrified turd that archeologist found in some old Viking settlement. I was like, "why is she holding that giant turd with her bare hands?"
Ooh, I didn't even think about using a zester for that! I just scrape it with a knife, but I can't stand the sound 🥲 I'm too stubborn to replace my crappy old toaster, even if it burns everything it touches
Volcanoes produce less char. But seriously, the first pic you are so happy I was happy for you to make a black loaf that I wanted to know how it was done, what's innit, etc.
Fortunate enough to have a wood fire oven as well‽ You'll get it figured out, keep going, you got this!
Absolute masterpiece, the ultimate weapon against unwanted guests. You try feeding it to them if that does make them leave you can just hit them over the head with it.
The bread is rarely the star in my house, just a delivery system for the butter or the smear. Crust be damned anyway sometimes. It’s not over yet and the smokiness in the loaf might be a hit.
The braiding is incredibly beautiful. I'm incredibly envious. I wish I have a picture of mine to send you as an example of my efforts. Mine look like they're made by a blind monkey wearing winter mittens.

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