My recipe was:
132g of Doughlene
600g white flour
370ml room temp/slightly warm water
12g salt

I took Doughlene out of the fridge and fed her the night before baking.

The next day I combined all ingredients but the salt and let it rest for 30 mins. Then I added the salt and kneeded until all combined.

I did what I thought was a letter fold, popped her back into the bowl and then came back 30 mins later to do an actual letter fold and wrapped her up tightly (I'm still learning 😹)

After this I let her prove it my oven on "dough-proofing" setting for 5 hours.

I then floured her top, popped her flour side down and made her into a square on my work surface snd folded the corners inwards. Rested for 20 mins

I then made her into a rough square, did a letter fold and then balled her up tightly into a roll- dusted with flour again and then let her cold prove in the fridge overnight.

I preheat my oven and dish at 240c for 30 mins, popped my dough in and cooked with the lid on for 20 mins, then I reduced the temperature to 200c and cooked for a further up 20 mins.

I love baking sweet treats, but I've never made bread before- I even made cinnamon buns with Doughlene first because I was anxious to do it- but I'm so proud of my first loaf.
