after several fails, a few edible but not great loaves, it finally happened 😍😭
recipe (double batch):
200g starter
650g water
1000g bread flour
20g salt
mix dough in kitchenaid mixer for about 5 mins, put in a clear bowl to rest for 1 hour. perform 4 sets of stretch and folds 30 mins apart
sat at room temp for 5 hours
preshape, rest for 15 mins
shape and put in fridge for cold proof overnight
I did one round loaf and cold proofed in a bowl with a floured tea towel, and did the other in a loaf pan
Baked at 450 for 30mins with lid on, then lid off for 15-20mins (I know the round one needed more time but I had to go lol)
it tastes delicious and I am so proud of my starter Fernandough!

Looks amazing and I’m so happy for you!
Congratulations!!! It feels so good to finally get it. Like, strangely, really, very good! I’m glad you finally experienced that feeling of cutting into your perfect loaf with the perfect spring, perfect color, perfect crust, perfect texture. It’s so good!
They’re beautiful! 🤩
Well done
They both look very nice 👌
