I got an ear! (lemmy.world)

In almost 5 years of making sourdough, I've only gotten an ear once before. Turns out my starter sucked. When it died (broke the jar, got glass in it) I spent 6 weeks trying and failing to make a new one. I still don't know why it wouldn't work, but I ordered one from King Arthur, and it's healthy and functional.

I was worried about fermenting this lemon rosemary sourdough since the directions basically only do it for an hour. I wasn't ready to bake yet, so I stuck it in the fridge for a couple hours. It came out beautiful and delicious.

Not OP

Sourdough ears are the flaps of dough that peel back and away from the main loaf when baked.
