Still some tweaking to do but I’m happy with this. The loaf is a bit lopsided possibly from shaping but the eat it tall and pronounced.

400g bread flour

25g rye flour

25g spelt flour

300g water

11g sea salt

111 starter

I was planning on changing my flour total to 500 so I increased starter and salt and forgot to increase the rest 🤦‍♂️.

Mixed everything and sat for 30 mins

Stretch and folds every 30 mins x 3

Bulk ferment on counter roughly 70F for 7 hours.

Pre-shape and rest 30 mins then shape and rest on counter for an hour then into the fridge for about 13-14hrs.

Baked covered 30 minutes 450F and uncovered about 7m

    Very nice! What were the main things you had to play around with/modify to get there? I’m on loaf #4 and it’s ok, but still have things to figure out.

    That’s what it takes. Practice, practice, practice. Looks great 👍🏻

    Question from a beginner: did you also feel like you had no idea what you were doing when you started?
