Baking sourdough with live commentaryfrom @okaycoolgigi
[01]
Overview
The creator documents her process of baking a rye sourdough loaf. She starts by showing the proofed dough, performs an initial light score, and places it in a Dutch oven to bake. After seven minutes, she removes it to score a deeper design, but expresses concern and surprise that the dough is still 'gelatinous' and hasn't formed a crust, speculating that it might need a longer baking time before putting it back in the oven.

Transcript
Rank you see that? You see how she slightly puffs up back? She's fighting back because she wants to be baked. Pretty light score. And then I'm gonna bake for seven minutes, and I'm gonna cut deeper. Excuse me. Here we go. Good girl. Yay. I can't wait to see how this comes out. Sorry. Okay. Bye. Louise, love you. Did you tell her that you love her? Seven minutes is up. Maybe you wanted to see this part. I usually wouldn't show it. Oh. Okay. It looks like more gelatinous. Like, I'm doing a design right now too. Can you see it? I might have to cook this longer than I thought because at seven minutes, this should be have a, like, a tiny like, kind of like a crust on the top. Okay. I don't know if it has something to do with the ride. Best a little nervous.
