The no salt soaker made with a higher water temperature also worked out okay. I think the no salt soaker method was better than the salt brine soaker, made with the same water temperature. I reason I think that, is that the crumb was moister, the oven spring was a little better and somehow the taste of the crust was also a little better. The bottom crust did brown a little differently, but that could have been how much my oven doors were opened and closed. The no salt soaker dough ball also felt a little higher in hydration than it was, it also opened very easily. As far as I can tell from my experiments, the higher temperature used for both soakers worked well.
Last picture is the two slices for reheats later today.
