My aunt got home from the hospital this week, so obviously I had to make a bread for her!🌹 Unfortunately no crumb shot 🍂
Ingredients:
– 80g active starter
– 500g ap flour
– 350g water
– 11g salt
- Mixed the starter and water, then added the flour.
- Let the dough rest at room temperature for 1 hour.
- After 1 hour, added salt -> performed 4 rounds of stretch-and-folds, spaced 30 minutes apart.After the final stretch-and-fold, let the dough sit at room temperature for about 5 hours. Shaped the dough and placed it in the fridge overnight (about 10 hours)
- Baked on a pizza stone: I preheated the pizza stone at 482°F / 250°C. Lowered the temperature to 446°F / 230°C and baked for 20 minutes and added ice cubes to the oven for steam. Finally, after 20mins lowered the heat to 410°F / 210°C and baked for ~25 minutes more

These pics are AI generated or heavily photo-shopped, no? No one could hold a loaf like that, that way… what’s going on here?
I like your scoring pattern, ambitious and well done!
I’m obsessed. So beautiful.
Been using a dutch oven for steam but your ice cube method on a stone is smart (do you put them in a pan or just toss em directly?) might steal this for my next bake
This bread is so pretty!
