So this is what resulted after the loaf rested for 12-15 hours, and was baked at 375 for 45 minutes. Ok, so i doubted whether it was going to have any oven spring, and therefore didn't slash it. So oven spring DOES exist for this loaf and I WILL be slashing it in the future... and perhaps dividing it into two loaves and not just one mondo loaf...we will see...
