I am fairly new to sourdough. Been trying to follow recipes online and am so happy that I found out I can use unfed starter.
This recent bake I think was a success but I can’t tell as I am no expert. All I know is it tastes good, risen well, not gummy nor dry crumb and smells good.
Recipe in grams:
250 whole wheat bread flour
150 strong white bread flour
9 salt
330 water
50 unfed starter straight from fridge
My method and recipe was inspired by a YouTuber (Rosie’s Kitchen Adventures).
Instructions:
At 10 am – Mix all ingredients
Then stretch and fold 3-4x- wait at least 15 to 30mins between
Rest at room temperature approx 20 degrees in my kitchen countertop
At 7pm – once doubled. I do the shaping
Put in the fridge overnight or until risen.
The following day I preheat the oven with pan inside for 220deg C before baking.
At 2 pm – bake at 220deg C for 35 mins covered using lodge cast iron sandwich loaf pan. Then another 15 mins uncovered removed from the loaf pan. I sprinkle with water the top and bottom of the dough before I place into the pan.
I bought my starter from Kensington Sourdough and it has been thriving for 3 months now 🙂 btw his name is “Igriss”
I welcome any criticism. Did I do well?

Looks really good. Great crumb, great color on the crust. Fantastic job!
I made a mistake in the recipe above. Actually, I used 150g whole wheat bread flour and 250g strong white flour!
That looks like a delicious loaf! I’d definitely pick this up at a bakery 🍞
Best looking bread i’ve ever seen
She is beauty, she is grace…. Would eat 10/10

Is the picture of it in the jar with the band you checking to make sure bulk fermentation has completed ? This seriously looks incredible and I’m looking into cast iron loaf pans now 🥲
