I got roasted on my “rate my loaf” post a few days back, made some edits, and did the damn thing. Is she perfect? Nah- still room for improvement. But, it is delicious and I’m very happy with how it turned out.

Recipe:

Sourdough recipe
(Specific to SC Wisconsin- adjust for your region)

100g active starter
390g warm water
Mix before adding
510g flour (I use bread flour)
15g salt
Mix
Cover with a tea towel
Let sit on your counter for an hour
Stretch and fold 4x, rotating your bowl
Cover
Let sit 30 minutes
Stretch / fold
Cover
Let sit 30 minutes
Stretch / fold
Cover
Let sit for 4-5 hours
Uncover
Dust your surface with flour and pour out your dough
Stretch and fold in 4-5x
Flip dough over to have a smooth top
Put the tea towel in a new bowl (or basket) and dust with flour
Plop your dough into the basket / bowl
Cover
Let sit in your fridge overnight

Place your Dutch oven into your oven and preheat to 450 degrees Fahrenheit
Place parchment paper on the counter and remove your dough from the fridge
Place dough on parchment paper
Flour your dough
Score it how you’d like (I like a simple cut or two)
Take your Dutch oven out of the oven, remove lid, and place your dough (still on parchment paper) into the Dutch oven
Cover and bake for 30 minutes
Take out of the oven and remove lid
Back in the oven it goes for 20 more minutes

Remove and enjoy!😍

    Congrats! It’s a great feeling. I just made my 6th loaf ever and I feel like loaf 5 and 6 are pretty close to “Instagram worthy”
