Guys i thought i was cooked but she came out nice


70% hydration, 10% starter, 2% salt. 80/20 bread/whole what flour.

Did an autolyse and absolutely HATED it. How do you mix in your salt/starter in after without completely messing up the gluten you just built? BF for ~5-6hours (i wanted to do it for shorter but i had to step out) then cold ferment for ~24hours. Baked lid on at 450F for 25min, lid off at 425F for 15min. Added ice cubes in the beginning for steam. ALSO – i skipped the shaping just to see what would happen, and its fine? Sorry forgot to take a crumb pic but its uniform and tight.

    How did you get the sides to come up like that?!

    I think I missed a step. Did you turn the broiler on to darken the top?

    Yeah, I don’t like doing an autolyse either. Just seems like more work. I do like to let all the stuff sit for 20 mins before really working it. I just bring it all together. After sitting for 20 minutes it’s so much easier to work with and actually start developing gluten.

    You skipped shaping and came out with this ear? I should quit backing. This looks fantastic.
