This was my first warm proofing. Im usually a stick it in the fridge overnight kind of girl. But I thought why not, I’ve got the time. To my surprise I’m really impressed with the process and myself.

Recipe:
500g of unbleached bread flour
120g of active sourdough starter
335g of filtered water
13g salt

I mixed everything at the same time, the. I used the cupping hand motion inside the bowl to build some gluten after. I will say, I was pretty lazy with this loaf. I did 2 sets of stretch and folds, then a coil fold. (I was far too tired to stay up any longer)

I let it BF for about 9.5 hours then I shaped it and put it in my loaf pan to finish the BF for another 2ish hours

Preheated my oven to 450, put the loaf in with a tin foil top to trap steam. Did and 8 minute expansion score because I wanted to see if I would get a better result that way.

With cover it baked for: 30 minutes
Without cover it baked for 23minutes at 425

    I love seeing a beautifully done loaf pan sourdough, as that is my vessel of choice. Great job!

    Soo gorgeous. I love the color you got on the crust, and your scoring!
