Bread With Holes



Several times a year I try to make bread with holes by using higher hydration. 
Then I go back to 65 percent hydration for the rest of the year. 

Sunday night I made a single loaf to give it the semi annual try.
Dough weight: 19 ounces
Hydration 72 to 74 percent
Flour: Wheatmontana White
Starter: 35% (Mr. Baker)
Finish weight: 16.5 ounces

Photos are shown.  Sorry no ambient daylight was available.

Bread nearly done baking.

This is about as good is Iâve been able to attain for loaf size plus holes,
and I fear this is the limit for [my] home baking capabilities. Any advice is
welcome for obtaining a more distributed airiness to the bread, or simply more
holes.

Interestingly I find the loaf similar to photos shown at an older post May 8,
2002. I donât know how to hyperlink an old post.  To find the photos, I
googled âprettycolors.comâ then picked the rfs post entitled âsteamâ.
