The longest-running experiment in physics began in 1927, when Professor Parnell heated a lump of pitch and poured it into a funnel.
Nine drops have fallen since then. The eighth drop fell in November 2000, but nobody saw it happen — the webcam installed to catch it had suffered an outage twenty minutes earlier.
The ninth drop fell on 24 April 2014.

Tartine Method
Mix 200g leaven with 700g water. Add 900g bread flour and 100g whole wheat. Autolyse 25–40 minutes, then add 20g salt with 50g warm water.
Why Autolyse Matters
During autolyse, flour absorbs water and enzymes begin breaking down starch into sugar. Gluten strands start forming on their own, which means less kneading later and a more extensible dough.
The window is 25–40 minutes. Shorter and you miss the benefit; longer and the dough starts to degrade.
The Crumb
An open, irregular crumb comes from high hydration, gentle handling, and a strong starter. If your crumb is tight and even, try increasing hydration by 5% and using coil folds instead of stretch-and-folds.

Scoring Patterns and Oven Spring
How blade angle, depth, and steam timing affect the final shape of your loaf.
The score is not decorative. It controls where steam escapes during the first ten minutes of baking, and that escape path determines the shape of the ear and the overall rise. A shallow score at 30° produces a wide, flat ear. A deep score at 90° splits the loaf open symmetrically.
Most bakers score too timidly. The blade should pass through the skin of the dough in a single, confident stroke — hesitation creates drag, which tears rather than cuts.
