Hi Eve, thanks for your question. We didn't include a photo of the the two loaves' exteriors because they looked practically identical; the depth of color of the crust was very similar. You can see a side-by-side comparison of cold start method vs. the preheated method in the section called "How baking in a cold Dutch oven compares." It's the second photo in that section. We hope that helps! Kye@KAF
