My very first sourdough loaf attempt! I know there’s lots of room for improvement but I am proud :))
I put the process below but for next time I am already thinking:
– maybe needs 5 more minutes in the oven (or to cool longer.. I waited 2 hours but I was very eager lol)
– deeper scoring
– better pre-shaping. This was by far the hardest part for me and I feel I overworked the dough and mixed a lot of flour in when I was trying to make the “neat ball”
Ingredients/Recipe:
– 50g starter
– 350g water
– 500g flour
– 10g salt
1. Mix ingredients and wait 1 hour
2. Three stretch or coil and folds 20 min apart
3. Bulk fermented at room temperature, covered with plastic wrap (5 hours – dough was doubled in size)
4. Shaped it into a ball and placed in bowl with floured tea towel
5. Cold proofed in the fridge overnight (10? Hours)
6. Scored and baked at 500F for 20 min with the lid on, then 20 min at 450F with the lid off
