Hi!! I reached out a while back in this thread for starter help. Now I am happy to report back with what I believe to be a successful first loaf! I have attached my video!
I sort of followed TikTok user @msemilyrose11 sourdough for dummies video but changed it up a bit.
In the video she prepared two loaves. I prepared one.
Recipe:
400g unbleached all purpose flour
100g whole wheat flour
375g filtered water
110g active starter
10g salt
I ended up doing 6-7 sets of stretch and folds I think. In total I think my dough bulk fermented for perhaps 9-10 hrs total then I put it in the fridge overnight and baked it at 500F for 20min lid on Dutch oven and 25min lid off. I left it to cool all day (more than 12 hrs) because I had a ceremony and wedding reception to attend.
Please provide any compliments and feedback! Thank you.
