Im not familiar with khorasan flour, nor the scalding technique. What does this flour and this technique do?
The loaf looks fantastic, though!

Scalded flour is a technique borrowed from asian baking, where it is known as tangzhong or yudane. Scalding some of the flour gelatinizes the starch to make a softer, moister loaf, but if overused, can become gummy.
I’ve done a lot of tangzhong for dinner rolls and hamburger buns, but haven’t tried it for my sourdough yet! I’ll definitely be experimenting with scalding some of the flour next loaf, thanks for the inspiration!
The leaf pattern in the side is beautiful. Nice work. How would you describe the taste and texture of this loaf?
Khorasan wheat gives a nutty sweetness reminiscent of durum. It's got a crusty crust and moderately open crumb. Almost a personal best.
Beautiful crust, would love a crumb shot if it's still around.
Despise that suspiciously large bubble at the top, it was not underproofed.
Looks wonderful.
Prime for a Reuben.
