First Loaves Of Sourdough From the Oven

Started this sourdough LAST Sunday. It proofed over night on the counter and then I put it in plastic proof containers in the refrigerator. Here we are 6 days later.

Took the dough out of the frig and formed it into individual loaves. (company tonight).

Fired up the oven and got a temp reading of 600 deg F on the floor.

Pushed the hot coals to the back of the oven and put in the first two loaves. Sprayed with water and closed the door.

About 10 min later peeked in and sprayed again with water. This INSTANTLY turns to steam, so I had to stay back. Closed the "door" again. Mmmm, sure smells good!

I now have 6 perfectly crusty loaves of sourdough bread I'll be serving with dinner tonight.
Dinner will be a rolled/stuffed flat iron steak, roasted vegetables, green salad (made with herbs and lettuce from the garden, and the bread.
Totally awesome!
