143 hour fridge loaf 😋

143 hr loaf from start to finish ( 1.5hrs at room temperature when first mixed). A second short fridge proof for 5 hrs before baking.

138hr bulk! My fridge is very very cold at the minute. I added some extra dough temperature checks – it helps me to track the dough better. We had a Tesco delivery and I was sure that would shoot the fridge temperature up.

I'm surprised it turned out so nice. You can see the split in the back where i stitched it too tight. I'm good with that.

I didn't intend to keep it in the fridge so long. My husband had been off work and I ended up stretching the loaf out to coincide with his return to work.

I genuinely thought it would be overproofed! Pleasant surprise lifting the lid off the pot.

Just having some now 😋
