6/05: Made an inclusion loaf with dried cherries and hazlenuts. Eyeballed the amount of inclusions to about 1 - 1.5 cup(s). I think I'll add about 2 cups next time. Added these at Step 4, which distributed well. Baked directly on pizza steel at 450°F steam bake high for 33 minutes (200°F). Photo updated. Updated: Made again, kept the temp the same (450°) baked for 20 minutes this time, came out beautifully. Doesn't disappoint. Opted to let it rest overnight on the kitchen counter in the bread banneton at 62°F. It rose beautifully and developed exceptional flavor. Used a pizza steel and the steam bake setting on my oven to bake. May lower the temperature slightly next time (450°F).
