I did a 75% hydration with 300g water, 100g starter, 10g salt and mixed before adding 325g bread flour and 75g whole wheat flour. Let sit for 30 minutes and then started stretch and folds for 4 cycles at 30 minutes intervals. Waited for size to double, but it got late so I chucked it covered in the fridge overnight for 10 hours. Took it out and let it sit on the counter while oven/Dutch over preheated to 450f. Baked 30 minutes covered, then lowered to 400f for an additional 10 minutes uncovered. Rested for 30 minutes before slicing. I'm so proud! I can't believe I made this. New hobby unlocked!

Gorgeous golden loaf! No notes
I’m new to this all as well but this looks wonderful. Way to go!
Just keep doing what you’re doing. Great looking loaf 🍞!!!
literally do not change a thing. the hardest part: DO IT AGAIN!!!
The way the bread responded to your scoring is really cool and unique 🙂 It also made me wonder if it’s possible to develop two big ears, kind of like a bread-bihawk (has anyone seen one of these?)
For the one variable to test for success+1: If you don’t know how much time elapsed during “Waited for size to double, but it got late” , then I would do everything the same, but time that step.
For success+2: I’d test keeping the dough in the fridge while the oven preheats, for a variety of reasons.
Beyond that? Be careful leaving dogs home alone with fresh bread on the counter; they will find a way, and yours is already looking at your bread like it’s heaven’s promise hahaha
Gorgeous! And that slightly reddish hue is both beautiful, and reminds me of some of the results I’ve gotten with recipes with entirely cold fermented bulk fermentation dough. That overnight hold did great things I think.
Give the doggo a bite!!
Simply beautiful. I’m a beginner and my goal is to make bread like yours.
Judging by doggo looking at you, I bet it is perfect! I don’t know enough about the science to give you suggestions, but I can tell you to take as detailed notes as possible and apply them going forward if you do experiment.
