I’ve been making sourdough on and off for the past year and wanted to share some progress so far.

Original recipe from Alexandracooks
500g bread flour
350-375g water
100g starter
12g salt

Mix ingredients, 4 sets stretch and folds 30 mins apart, BF until double in size, shape.

I’ve learned to really push my BF and after many, many overproofed loaves, I think I finally have a decent understanding of what a properly fermented dough is supposed to look like.

I still am aiming for a more symmetry, higher height and the spiral crumb that I see in some but overall happy with how much I’ve improved. Critiques welcome 🙂

    That crumb glow-up is real. You can see how much more confident your shaping’s gotten.
