Rest
Remove the loaf and let it cool on a wire rack. Resist the urge to cut — give the crumb time to set.

Slice and Enjoy
Once the crust has cooled and the air inside has settled, slice in.
Seeds crackle, the blade sighs through, and the crumb reveals itself — soft, nutty, and open. Butter it. Jam it. Avocado it. Or just stand there in the kitchen, still barefoot, and take that first bite.oyj

Notes
And after that first bite? Mr. Squeeze gave his signature slow nod of approval. Lily, tail wagging, waited patiently for her crumb (she got one — of course). The crust was crackly, the crumb was soft, and suddenly… everything felt just right. Simple. Nourishing. Shared. Just the kind of loaf that reminds you why you bake.
