Had my husband film the sourdough crumb reveal

5/12 Edited to

... Read moreFilming the crumb reveal of a sourdough loaf is as much an art as baking the bread itself. I’ve found that capturing this moment really highlights the effort put into the fermentation and baking process. When teaching someone, especially a novice like my husband, how to film this, it's crucial to focus on natural lighting and a steady hand to truly emphasize the bread’s texture and air pockets. From my experience, the crumb reveal should happen soon after slicing the bread to avoid moisture loss, which can affect the visual appeal. Using a high-quality camera or smartphone on video mode, keeping the shot close but not so close that the image becomes blurry, works best. Sharing this baking journey with a loved one adds a special touch to the process. It’s not just about the bread but also about creating memories together in the kitchen. Plus, it’s encouraging to see how baking skills—and filming skills—can improve with time and practice. If you’re new to sourdough baking or bread photography, try experimenting with angles and light sources and don’t be afraid to get a little playful during the crumb reveal. The joy and satisfaction of successfully capturing that perfect crumb structure are worth it!

Overproofed Sourdough loaf or Perfection?
Everyone has their own goal when baking sourdough bread. Some like their crumb to be very hole-y and open, others prefer a slightly denser loaf, but I find that more and more people like a fluffy, closed crumb. One where the butter and jam won’t seep through the holes yet it’s very soft and fluffy.

Has your sourdough starter peaked?
How to Tell if Your Starter is at Peak 1. Feed When Hungry • Use any ratio, but a heavy feed (like 1:3:3 or higher) makes it easier to test. 2. Watch the Rise • When your starter doubles, stir it down. • Wait and see if it grows again. 3. Interpret the Results
