Wholemeal Sourdough Loaf

Another homemade sourdough loaf.
I have really enjoyed the challenges to produce a good looking loaf that doubles up as a photographic test shot as well as feeding the family with fresh warm scrumptious bread.
A golden crunchy crust with a velvety crumb, delicious eaten freshly sliced, toasted or even with your favourite topping.

This image was shot using flash and daylight techniques, I wouldn’t usually shoot with direct sun on the set but felt that it actually benefited the image as the sharp contrasting shadow it created in the foreground complimented the scoring pattern on top of the bread which I achieved using a very sharp blade. The parchment paper was used to compliment the crust and the rustic background colour and texture chosen to compliment the overall look of the rustic organic loaf.
