I left the loaf on too high a heat for too long and burned the top.
The irony that I was distracted watching GBBO Masterclass is not lost on me.
Still - the unburned crust was damn near perfect, and the bread tasted amazing.
The structure looked spot on, but the texture was a touch rubbery - I'm guessing this is because the starter is quite wet.
I'm going to refresh the starter with more flour to water, and possibly use a little less.
I feel like I'm getting close to baking a decent loaf now.
