📝 Additional Descriptions

Comments
Visible transition between the crust and the inside "crumb". The dough seems to have been folded in on itself. Dough is very compact with few voids; pure flour with very few impurities. Starch granules have been observed intact in the dough but no further analyses have taken place.
