Made my first sourdough loaf today! Starter is about 9 days old (consistent 1:1:1 feeds once a day), has been doubling for a couple days and more than doubled in 3 hours this morning. Passed the float test so I figured I would give it a try.
Used https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSDj27856/ for my recipe and technique. 4x stretch and folds every 30 minutes, preshaped, rest for 20 minutes, final shaping, into oven at 450 for 30 minutes then 15 minutes at 400 with the lid off. I bulk fermented in the oven with the light on for a few hours until it was pulling away from the bowl nicely, jiggly, not sticky, and lots of bubbles seen in the glass bowl. I’m thinking slightly underproofed due to a bit of a gummy texture and the air bubbles.
Overall I’m happy with it! Am I correct in thinking underproofed?
