My first ever loaf! I had a heck of a time growing an active starter so when it finally took off I couldn’t wait to bake. I followed Grant Bakes Good Sourdough Bread recipe exactly. https://grantbakes.com/good-sourdough-bread/#mv-creation-10-jtr
I used 450 grams of Bob’s Red Mill Artisan Bread Flour. I did 3 sets of stretch and folds every 30 minutes after mixing. And then the first rise was on the countertop for 3 hours (I live in the Caribbean and it is crazy hot and humid!) Grant has you leave it in your banneton (or for me, a mixing bowl) for one hour on the counter before it goes in the fridge. Mine was in the fridge for 12 hours.
Baked at 450 in my Dutch oven for 20 minutes with the lid on and 19 minutes with the lid off.
I know the scoring technique is awful. Grant just makes one slice on his video! But I was pleased that I got an ear!
