I created my starter about a month ago from scratch. Took a lot of trial and error. I think my loaves actually got worse before they got better. I was definitely over fermenting them. Today is my 4th try!
Recipe:
100g starter
360g lukewarm warm water
75g whole wheat bob’s red mill flour, 425g King Arthur bread flour
10g sea salt
10g honey
Mix all together. Let sit for 30 mins. Performed 4 stretch and folds every 30 minutes.
Bulk fermentation at room temp (around 75 degrees) for 11 hours.
Transferred to banneton and proofed in fridge for 27 hours.
Baked in oven 470 degrees for 20 mins, removed lid and lowered to 450 degrees for 15 mins.

Hmm I like the idea of adding some honey, will be trying that on my next bake ☝🏾
Dang that seems like a long bulk ferment at 75 degrees. How cool was your water?
Results speak for themselves though!
Excellent work!
How strong is the honey taste? Love the idea!
