super open to feedback but pls be nice 🙏
hi everyone! this is my 5th loaf (i think). i started my starter (lol) over 1 year ago but my work routine and mental health didn’t allow me to bake a lot. now i’m working from home and – a bit – less depressed, so i really want to get into baking again! this beauty kinda gave me hope that i can do it, the past couple of loafs were fails (and months ago)! super happy i found this subreddit so i can share it with people equally as excited as me ♥️
350g water (had to add a bit extra at the end so maybe about 400g?)
80g starter
15g salt
500g flour
4 stretch and folds with 45 minutes intervals, leaving in the counter until it grew about 1/2 it’s size. shaped and put it in the fridge for 24h. preheated oven at 440°F with dutch oven inside until it was REALLY hot. baked for 25 minutes lid on and 15 minutes lid off. waited about 3h to cut.
