Hi everyone! I made my first ever sourdough loaf last week and was hoping for some feedback! I think it looks great, but could get some advice and tips for some of those more experienced!
I followed a recipe using 120g starter, 310g warm water and 500g unbleached bread flour. From there I made a shaggy dough and let rest for an hour, with stretch and fold 4 times every 20 min. After I let rest for 6-7 hours to final proof (could use some tips) and cold proofed for 12 hours. Then baked at 500 degrees for 20 min lid on Dutch oven and 20 with it off!

Wow looks great! I am new in artisan bread and sourdough baking, what was your flour, and protein contents?
Awesome first effort! Looks way better than my first four loaves!
It’s a gorgeous loaf!
