Accidentally made a sourdough loaf wearing a corset!

This is my third loaf ever, and I’m very pleased with it! It didn’t rise as much as my 2nd loaf and I think it’s because it was too moist AND I left it in the fridge for too long. I used the following recipe:

  • 375g warm water
  • 100g starter
  • 500g organic bread flour
  • 11g salt
  1. Mix all together
  2. Four rounds of stretch and fold every 30 mins with the loaf resting in the oven with the light on
  3. Bulk ferment for 5 hours in oven w/ light on, prob rose 100% (possibly too much?)
  4. Shaped, let rest for 30 mins
  5. Shaped again, put in banneton with towel covering it
  6. Set in fridge for ~36 hours (too long?)
  7. Added rice flour and made accidental boob design lol
  8. Heated oven to 500F with Dutch oven inside, then knocked it down to 450F, put loaf in covered for 30 mins, reduced temp to 400F, removed lid, 20 mins
  9. Laughed at how sexy this sourdough turned out!

    Beautiful! I have only been baking with sourdough for a couple months but haven’t done any fancy scoring.

    Would you say it’s your bust loaf to date?
