Now that 90+ degree days are here, I've moved my bread-baking outside to the Egg. Here's a sourdough boule and some seeded twists, both Egg-baked (and from recipes in Amy's Breads cookbook). The dough uses a sourdough starter, built into a stiff-dough levain, then into a final dough. Not hard, but spread out over several days. A long-fermented loaf is a good way to have a "kitchen project" going during the week--intermediate steps require little active time, and you can schedule the baking for a slow, weekend morning or a time when you'll be lighting the Egg anyway.
And the seeded twists, after baking:

Awesome bread! Do I see a touch of rye in the boule? And it looks like you use a reed basket for fermentation. Awesome.

Wow would a little cream cheese on those twists go good with my coffee right now! looks GREAT!

Good Morning Celeste. I'm currently in the midst of my third refreshment for my sourdough starter.....looks as if I can start my sponge in about 8-12 hours. Sure hope my bread comes out as good as yours.

The original recipe called for a touch of pumpernickel flour (rye), but I had none, so I used a touch of white whole wheat.
ETA: and the loaf was indeed proofed in a brotform (coiled willow, though, rather than reed). Good eye.
