Hello everyone!

I started my starter from scratch about a month ago and yesterday finally decided it was ready to try my first loaf. I experimented with the following recipe:

275g water

100g starter

400g white bread flour (the exact same kind I use for my starter)

9g salt

Stretch and folds every 45 minutes for about 7 hours and then shaped and placed in a covered banneton at room temperature for 3 hours before scoring and placing in a 230c Dutch oven with some ice cubes covered for 30 minutes and uncovered for 15.

I am incredibly happy with the result, I know it probably isn’t perfect, but I can already tell this is going to become an addiction! xD

Any tips or advice highly appreciated and thank you all!
