Tried the aliquot for the first time (taking small sample of dough to measure rise) and decided to bake the lil guy.

Flour: 450g
Water: 300g
Starter: 170g
Salt: 10g

Process

  • Whisk salt into flour

  • Add starter and water

  • Mix loosely til all flour is hydrated

  • Take about 20 mL of dough and add to small jar for measuring rise

  • 45 min – Toss in oven proof setting (100 F) with damp towel over mixing bowl – Dough temp should be measured around 28-30 C

  • Coil fold x4 (lift and fold top third under, rotate bowl 180, fold top third under, rotate 90, fold, rotate 90, fold)

  • 45 min – oven proof again

  • Coil fold

  • 20 mins – oven proof

  • Flour bench, have some bench flour ready

  • Pour dough onto flour

  • Fold and shape

  • Fridge overnight

Bake

  • Preheat oven to 500 (Steel + lava rocks tray included)

  • Get some water boiled

  • Straight from fridge, place dough on parchment, score

  • Reduce oven to 450

  • Place bread on steel

  • Fill lava rocks tray with boiling water

  • 25 min with steam (water in pan w/ lava rocks)

  • 20 without

  9. kerrylou100

    Haha! That’s a great idea, we all forget to add it back in once in a while! Tell me, do you always use that much starter, and how does using that much affect your bake, as opposed to say 100 g of starter, thank you.
