    How you know it is done

    Shot. Close on the center of the food. A skewer, tap, or spoon shows the cue. Hold long enough to see it.

    If it goes wrong

    Shot. Split screen is unnecessary. Show the finished, correct texture, then a hand points at the cue.

    Voiceover. The crust is hard and the crumb is tight. The dough was too dry or the steam pan was empty. Next time keep all 340 g of water and pour water into the hot pan as the bread goes in. The loaves spread into flat ovals. They proofed too long, or the seam was on top. Next time shape tighter and bake when a poke springs back halfway, not when the dough looks exhausted.
