Fed my starter in the morning before work, came home and mixed 250g of starter, 750g of water and 1000g of flour for my typical 2 loaves. Well after I mixed it all, I let it sit for an hour, did one set of stretch and folds and went out with the wife. Well totally forgot till this morning and it was way over fermented. Kinda frustrated but put it in a pan with olive oil. Coated with butter and garlic and cooked it. Absolutely amazing accident.

    This is actually how I started on my sourdough focaccia journey, by happy accident. Now I’m obsessed. Looks great!!

    Had a similar experience, accidentally slept in and woke up to over fermented dough. Super sticky so I made it into a really good cast iron pizza!

    That looks incredible! Will have to keep that in mind if I overdo the bulk rise

  5. Sorry off topic, but is that a tablet mounted in your kitchen? With… ads on it? 👀🫠 Also the accident looks pretty tasty!

    Congratulations, your dough has achieved sentience and is shopping for clothes

    Hey, do you have a recipe? Or the guide you used to get into sourdough making? Sorry, new to this but I love focaccia!
    That competes with Italian focaccia!
