So excited for Edith’s first day at work! First (mini) loaf ever from my starter (22 days ago)

1:5:5
Half bread flour & half whole wheat
(I usually make my starter a bit thicker because of the humidity and heat here)

300g bread flour
60g starter
205g of water (less hydration due to the intense humidity here in SC currently)
6g salt

475F 20 minutes with steam going
450 15 minutes (removed steam pan)

Let it rest for 45 minutes

No Dutch oven used*** I heated up the cast iron I have while the oven was preheating and placed the dough on top once the cast iron preheated with the oven for about 30 minutes first.

Same day bake- started at 11:00am
x3 stretch and folds
x1 coil

Bulk fermented for about 2.5 hours
Cold proofed for about 1.5 hours

Scored and baked ! I’m excited to improve my methods and keep baking, could use some work on scoring too haha- I think she turned out decent 🫶🏻🍞🤝🏼
