Did I finally do it!?


Okay I’ve been working hard to perfect my recipe. Made a post last week and all of you had great advice. Did I finally get the crumb right? Starter born on 8/9/25

Recipe:
140 g active starter, 15 g of salt, 375 g of filtered room temperature water, 500g bread flour. Dough was started at 1pm temped @75 degrees after initial mixing, 4 folds, every 30 minutes for two hours, 2 stretch & folds, 2 coil folds. Bulk fermented until 9 pm, shaped dough and cold proofed in fridge. Started baking at 9am this morning. Preheated Dutch oven at 450 for an hour, took dough out of fridge scored, put in Dutch oven on parchment paper with a few ice cubes on the outside of paper. Baked 35 minutes with the lid on, baked 20 more with the lid off. I kept the oven at 450. Waited to cut into it till 4pm.

    Looks a little under fermented and under baked to me.
