Thinking about it Sallykate, it might have been a slightly under baked issue? *
There is (was) a small area which is (was) a bit "doughy"

Do you do the "poke" test for proving?
Poke the dough with your finger: if it's not proved enough it'll spring back and leave no impression, if it's overproved the impression will stay as deep as you made it, and if it's just right it'll spring back halfway.
I bake mine for a total of 50 mins - 30 mins covered @ full blast, 20 uncovered @ 190. That's longer than the recipe suggests.

Agree with SK tips - you certainly need to know you oven and trust your own judgement. Patience is key with sourdough.
A good fun thing is when you get it out of the oven bang the bottom (oo-er missis!) with a knuckle - if it's properly baked there should be a really satisfying 'drum' sound.

Nice tip :-)*
It's mini Nico who does most of the baking, and did in this instance. I'll pass it on.
* similar to the steak thing with the pad of your thumb

Excellent, I am looking forward to some poking and banging in the next 12 hours or so.

That recipe makes a horrible sticky ‘batter’. It’s like putty. Anyway I added a handful of glacé cherries for luck (after testing them to check they are still okay) and the cakes (it makes two) are in the Aga

The cookies look amazing! I don't have any brown sugar, though. Only golden caster.
LittleD made a victoria sponge yesterday. With buttercream and blackcurrant jam. yum!

I’ve used whatever sugar we have to do my baking and everything has come out okay so far
The tea loafs are out. They smell good but look a bit rustic. Tasting report to follow at lunch-time
