I’ve posted here before when I got started with sourdough in April of this year. I made these loaves last week and wanted to share. I’m very proud of them.

100% bread flour, 65% water. 75g of starter and 10g of salt per loaf. I mix all ingredients using a stand mixer, 5 min slowest velocity, then 3 min 2nd velocity to finish off. I allow the dough to rest 30 min, then do coil folds every 30 min for 2 hrs. I allow the dough to rest 2 more hours, pre shape, let that rest 30 min, then shape and proof in the fridge 14 hrs or 3 hrs room temp (I prefer cold proofing).

I pre heat my oven for 30 min at 450F, score, then bake using a combo cooker 20min covered, 17 min uncovered. Allow bread to cool at least 2 hours before cutting. I love the progress I’ve made and inspiration I get when I visit here. I also post my sourdough on insta @breadsbyjav check it out if you wanna to see more of the journey

  1. yo those look lovely but i do think you can push the fermentation for quite a bit longer. don’t be afraid to experiment.

    What do you do for the scoring on the 3rd pic?

    Just an X-shaped, semi-deep cut? Or are you sort of slicing a bit under where each ‘flap’ forms?
