The image shows a loaf of artisanal sourdough bread sliced open to reveal a beautifully airy and open crumb structure. The crust is golden brown a with oat flakes scattered on the top. The inside of the bread appears soft and slightly glossy, with a network of irregular holes typical of well-fermented sourdough. The background is a simple, neutral surface, allowing the focus to remain on the bread’s texture and inviting appearance.
