Jason Pettus PhotographyHere's the latest loaf of homemade bread this winter, smaller and denser than normal for two reasons -- first, because it's cold as hell here in Chicago right now, including in the kitchen of our co-op's ancient 125-year-old building, and because it's 50% whole wheat flour, another 25% rye (and 25% white to round it out). That said, the tighter and dryer dough responded well to my curved lame (lah-MAY), and here I got that fabled lip crust you're always looking for in your $7 artisanal loaves at the farmer's market and on Instagram. Another semi-blurry stenciling using rice flour, but it's at least enough that you can see the pattern!<br>
