sometimes the bread has plans of its own

This seemed like an unremarkable loaf when I put it in the oven.

Dani called it my dromedary loaf. :-)

I wondered if there were a large air bubble under that hump, but the inside looks normal. So, one of life's mysteries! But a tasty mystery, so it's ok.

I want to make some kind of joke about a famous Biblical mountain and your mighty loaf.

This is why, whenever I bake bread, I intone "RISE, MY GLORIOUS CREATION!" at least once. (Or "LET MY CREATION RISE" or any of a dozen variants.)

It looks to me as if it's trying to turn into a potato.

It looks like your oven Heats slightly unevenly. You may wish to play with slashing the loaf down the center, or making a pretty, even design down the sides, to allow it to rise evenly.

Your bread rises on high, like a mighty mountain! That's awesome.
