after 6 months of trial and error, i’m finally making good loaves CONSISTENTLY! i’m so so happy 🙂 i had to share because no one i know makes sourdough so i have no one to yap about this with >.< i’m even more excited that i’m able to make a loaf within 7 hours!! i also use a stand mixer now and it’s so much easier

recipe:
310g water
200g starter
45g honey
20g softened butter
500g bread flour
10g salt
directions:
1. with the dough hook on speed 1, mix everything but the salt
2. cover and let sit for 1 hour
3. add the salt and mix on speed 2 for 10 minutes
4. transfer to glass bowl, cover, and let sit for 40 minutes
5. perform 3 sets of 4 stretch and folds as well as 6-8 coil folds, 40 mins apart
6. let sit until bulk fermentation is done. for me, this is about 30 mins
7. shape and place in banneton seam side up
8. allow rest for 20 minutes before stitching the bottom
9. proof on counter, this is taking me 1.5-2 hours as of late
10. preheat oven to 450 with bread oven inside and place banneton into the freezer
11. once preheated, flip the dough out onto parchment paper and score
12. bake at 450 covered for 30 mins
13. drop the heat to 425 and bake uncovered for 12-15 minutes or until internal temp is 208-210
14. cool for at least 2 hours!

    beautiful crumb! i think the honey probably contributed to the fast ferment as well

    I’m trying this recipe today! How is the taste? Is it sour?

    She’s… beautiful 🥲 great job! I’m intrigued by the 200g of starter. I’ve never used that much. Typically, for me, it’s 100g. I’m in cold ass Canada though lol

    Looks great! Have you ever tried adding whole grains to this bread? Also, will this recipe work for a sandwich loaf in a sandwich pan?
