Changes that have really made a difference for me:
Using a low hydration starter (70%)
I’ve been spraying the dough with water instead of dusting with flour
And love all the blisters
Also the 5 minute score inatead of before putting in the oven
Putting ice in the preheated cast iron instead of boiling water for best steam
Open baking on a baking steel (and baking shell after the 5 minute score)
This is 500 bread flour (rye- spelt- old world and high mountain) 125 gr strater 10 gr salt 350 gr water
Shaped and cold fermented for 36 hours
