Just basically winging it and trying to self learn. Im really loving the journey! This is a recipie I found on youtube and ive been going with it 🤷♀️
This is my 5th loaf and first one with an actual cast iron DO (only had a stainless steel pot which I thought was the same thing lol). I am learning each time and feel im improving muchly with each loaf. Im not up on all the bread lingo so any very simple tips would be appreciated! Thank you ☺️

Looks good!
I always judge a loaf by how good a sandwich a slice would make, so the only critique would be to make stitch the dough a bit tighter before the final proof, but it would still be a solid 9/10.
What do you use in your starter?
I’m not super familiar with sour dough, however it looks a bit underprooved. Poke it when it’s proving and if an indent stays for a few seconds you’ll know it’s ready
Delicious
Next timer perhaps a deeper score? Will help open it better
