I got ahead of myself and started to prep a triple loaf based off my usual starting ratios.
100g starter
375g water
500g flour
11 g salt
Except after adding my 1.125kg of water, and 300g of starter, I realized I only had about 900 g of flour left (not the 1.5kg i needed).
Anyways after some messy attempts at building tension and a 12h bulk. i shaped as best I could and tossed it in a bread pan 24 hr cold proof and ended up with two passable loaves 🙂
yes I could have paused and gotten flour but this was an interesting adventure.
I had to add about 10 extra mins to get temp up to 210. Its still a little gummier than usual but overall still tastes great toasted with butter.

It looks like you pulled it off quite well!!! I think it looks great after knowing the story behind it.
Looks great!

Turning that into two solid loaves is a win in my book. Have you ever tried handling hydration this high before?
I think there’s some maths out somewhere…. But a nice loaf
