Making sourdough bread is entirely GMan’s domain and he has been working on perfecting his technique for about 7 years now. These days he does not generally have any catastrophic failures, however, there is no denying that some results are better than others. Like all artisans, he is constantly striving for perfection – whatever that is.

A couple of weeks ago he decided to purchase 2 rectangular cast iron dutch ovens. They duly arrived and were washed and seasoned as per the instructions and readied for use.

Here is the result from the baking done this morning. He is very pleased with the consistent shape.
