My first try

I followed the recipe below. She says you can use 50g-100g of active starter, and I felt confused by that so I used 75g. If you’re wondering why it’s that shape, it’s because I only own a heart shaped dutch oven lol. I also realized my oven rack was. A bit too high and made the top a little burnt

Here’s the two places I really fucked up:
1. I forgot to add the salt until the stretch & folds… and I didn’t add enough. When eating the bread the texture wasn’t noticeably bad, but it was very bland 🥲

1. I didn’t let the loaf rest enough before cutting. I had to leave for a trip and wanted to see the inside before I left, so I only let it sit about 25 minutes. You can tell in the photo that it got a bit gummy in the middle.

Overall I am pretty pleased although I learned a lotttt
