How does this look!? This is my first loaf. I literally can’t wait to try it and try more recipes. I just ordered a lame so I had to “score” it my tearing it apart with my hands because my knives were too dull to cut it😂

What are your fave beginner friendly sourdough recipes? I’m looking for flavored recipes like cinnamon or jalapeño cheddar, chocolate, etc.

I got this starter from a friend who has a micro bakery. I tried to start my own but it didn’t work out lol. I feed it King Arthur bread flour daily. i keep 25g of starter and feed 25g of flour with 25g of water. But before I started the dough, I fed it 50 and 50 of flour and water. I did 100g of starter, 475g King Arthur bread flour, 10g of Eden’s salt, and 325g water from my fridge. This recipe was from Farmhouse on Boone. Then I used Alexandras kitchen recipe to finish the dough because I couldn’t originally find the other. I also called my mom who told me what she does for her GF sourdough and I just finished how she does it so it’s not exactly like Alexandra’s Kitchen recipe. I let it rest for 30 min. Then folded it on all “sides” every 30 minutes for 2 hours. After that I let it rest covered on the counter for 12ish hours and it did rise. I folded once more then I put it in the fridge for about 48 hours until I had a chance to get to it. Baked at 425°F for 45 minutes covered and then 10 minutes uncovered.

Hopefully all that makes sense😂 I just kind of winged it lol Any tips or tricks that would be considered helpful for a beginner?
