Thought I would share another one of my Black Boulès.  I love using this as an aesthetic scoring method, but let me say this-

While Activated Charcoal does have a lot of great benefits in consumption, it is also very high in absorption. So please do not put charcoal INSIDE of your bread without speaking to your doctor if you take prescription medications. 

Just an FYI, this is less than 1/4 tsp that I shake on top, then I smooth it on wearing gloves, so the entire boule contains very little. You can even dust off the excess or wipe it off before you score. I have issues with mineral and vitamin absorption, so I will not be using it throughout my bread, but I feel fine about the small amount dusted on top! 🤍

It has a lot of detox benefits and gut benefits that you can research or ask your doctor about if you want to bake it into the bread for those purposes.
