Birthday loaf for my wife

Ingredients – In Mixing bowl in this order: 100g Starter 10g Salt 325g Lukewarm Water 500g Bread Flour (I like King Arthur)

After Mixing, let sit in bowl for 30 minutes before first stretch n fold. Did 4 stretch and folds letting it sit 30 minutes between each one.

After stretch n folds, let sit in glass bowl to bulk ferment for 4.5 hours (kitchen was ~75°F). From there I went to pre-shaping where I then let it sit for another 30mins before final shaping.

After final shaping, put in my banneton basket, covered it and put it in the fridge for 16 hours.

Baking: Pre-heat oven to 450°, let the dutch oven heat for ~1hr before scoring and putting in the oven. Baked for 35 min with lid on and 15 min with lid off for coloring. Waited 5 hours to slice open

I tried doing a different score here and turned out really well! think this is my best loaf yet
