Failure to Launch

I’m in troubleshooting mode. I’ll obviously have to cut into this loaf and look at the structure when it cools, but it produced a giant belly and a tiny ear. A small amount of spring but not like my usual boules.

It wasn’t overproofed for sure, but I did add more water and flour after it was already mixed and had rested due to me accidentally adding 20 extra grams of salt. I realized what I did after the fact. I’m wondering if that could have had an effect.

I also made such pretty score makes but it kind of exploded. 🤣 I can’t wait to get my bread oven to see if it makes a real difference. I sure hope so!! I’ll update this post when I look at the crumb.
