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!

    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 🥲
