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

hilarious post, beautiful loaves. 10/10 post
I’ve done the same when I forget to mix the extra in. It’s so fun to shape the little guys
Now I want to make tiny sourdough bites in a mini muffin tin.
Hahaha he’s so cute 🥺
How much flour do you use? I don’t see the grams? TIA
This is my favorite thing today
He’s beautiful! Looks just like his momma!
I love doing mini loaves when I have some extra dough.
Looks beautiful and airy!
So pretty! I wish my loaves looked half as good as yours. 😜
!!!!!! Omg yes!!! Omggg it’s so cute r u kiddin me??
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.
