Guys! I made my first successful sour dough that isn’t gummy/dense/spongey on the inside!
I followed the Alexandra cooks recipe from her website:)
100g active starter
375g warm water
500g King Arthur bread flour
12g Celtic sea salt
Mix by hand, let set for 30mins then do four sets of stretch and folds 30mins apart.
Let it double in size, then shape and cold proof for 10hrs.
Preheat oven at 475 with Dutch oven inside, then place bread in and bake with lid on for 30mins. Remove lid, reduce temp to 415 for 15 mins, the. Removed from Dutch oven and baked directly on the rack for 10 mins because I wanted crispier crust.
It’ll get better guys!!!! Keep going!

Hi! I’m new to the party, and I’m out here flying by the seat of my arse! Thanks for sharing this recipe, I can’t wait to try it out 🍻
Thanks for information. Your bread is amazing and so perfect. I tried making starter it sucked.. I tried looking at many YouTube videos and it seems so complex…I will definitely try again… you’ve given me some hope. Thanks
I know people love the crumb with big holes through it – but that kind is honestly my favourite crumb type. It looks amazing, well done
Love this! It looks delicious! I’m going to be prepping my first loaf tomorrow! My starter is 2 weeks old now and has been very active this week! I hope mine turns out as good as yours!
