Just for fun, I made a 1.8× batch of the tartine country loaf, but still made two loaves.

Overall they're great, if a bit dense. I theorize that the mass of the dough makes a more open crumb difficult at this size, but it could also just as easily be any of the more normal reasons.

Amazing the difference photographing in sunlight makes

Could tartines be made without charred parts or is it inevitable?

    I'm sure you could, if you baked it at like 425-450, but in my opinion you get the best loaf by riding the line between browned and charred as close as you possibly can

    I aim for as dark as I can get without tasting bitterness
