After posting on here previously because my bread wasn’t as “tall” as I wanted, I used tips everyone left me! Very happy with how this came out. Also probably the tastiest loaf to date, but maybe I just like it more because i’m happy with how it looks haha. I think it still could’ve used a little bit longer bulk fermenting out of the fridge, but I think it’s great regardless. Let me know what else I could do better.
Recipe: 500g flour, 10g salt, 140g active starter, 340ml water. 1 hour rest, 3 40 minute stretch and folds followed by 4-6 hours bulk fermentation and then cold proofing in the fridge for 12-14 hours. Preheat dutch oven at 450 for 45 min to 1 hour. 20-22 min with lid on in dutch oven, followed by 20-22 minutes with lid off.

That spring 🤤
It’s so beautiful I can’t look directly at it. The glory is too intense. Well done!
Beautiful!!! I’m curious for my own loaves; What were the tips to getting it ‘tall’ as you mentioned?
That looks like it came from a bakery. Great job OP.
Iconic!!!!
Looks amazing
This bread looks like my goal! I’m just curious, what ratio do you use to feed your starter and do you use it at its peak?
