    I’ve been having such a hard time recently with always under or over proofing my loaves & I was so pleased to see this crumb!! I think I’ll extend bulk for 30 mins next time & see if the holes open up a little more.

    Recipe: Mini loaf, 75% hydration, aiming for 78f dough temp!

    250g AP flour

    179g water

    5g salt

    50g starter

    Mixed dough with a dough whisk, then hand mixed for a good 10mins until it developed a bit of a window pane.

    Let dough rest for 30mins, stretch & fold until I couldn’t anymore.

    Rest 30 mins, coil folds.

    Continued doing coil folds every 30mins 3 more times.

    Rested for 3.5hrs/until it reached the 6hr mark, keeping a consistent temp of 78f.

    Preshaped, rest for 15-20mins.

    Did a tri fold, rolled it up & put into the banneton. Rested there for 5mins, then stitched it up & left it on the counter for 5 more mins, then covered & stuck it in the fridge.

    Baked after 14hrs in the fridge, preheat oven to 500f, decrease to 450f once it’s in. Lid on for 20mins, lid off for 20mins.
