Ugly as sin, but she tastes amazing!

75g starter
11g salt
375ml water
500g flour

Bulk fermentation for 10 hours, with 4 stretch and folds every 30 minutes for the first two hours.

Shaped on the bench and rested for 30 mins and then proved overnight (~12 hours) in the fridge.

Cooked in a dodgy old casserole dish, 45 mins at 210°C

The proving vessel was a mixing bowl that was too big and didn’t let the dough retain its shape, it looked more like a cow pat lol. The casserole dish was too small at least so it did turn out sort of round at least.

She has the face only a mother could love, but hot damn she tasted incredible, probably the best I’ve done!

I’ve just ordered a basket thingy and a Dutch oven so hoping that next time she’ll look and taste good!
