Loop
Bake, evaluate, adjust
You might say: reading the loaf, troubleshooting, bake log
Focus on one part of the process at a time, measure the improvement, and change the next part only after that.
- What it does
- Uses the loaf's crumb and crust as evidence for the next controlled bake.
- Ask
- What does this loaf say about fermentation, and which one variable should change next time?
What to look for
- A built loaf is compared with its crumb and crust
- A bake log records one changed variable for the next cycle
Loop: balancing
Crumb structure → Crust colour → Dough temperature → Bulk fermentation → Hydration ↺

If you're struggling to get a more open crumb, try focusing on one part of the process at a time, measure your improvements, and then move on to the next.
