Notes

Baked without ice cubes in the dutch oven for the first time in a while. Sprayed with a little water instead. My hypothesis was that the ice cubes caused inconsist coloring. These loaves definitely have a more consistent color but its lighter and dryer vs the consistent dark color I was aiming for. I should try just 1 ice cube next time to find a balance.
