    Looks awesome! I need to try it

  4. Looks fantastic, well done. But… I’m confused by the directions, day one you replenish starter and place in refrigerator, but also remove starter from refrigerator and leave on counter over night?

    Also, why do you mix the dry ingredients and leave on counter over night?

    Lastly when did you make the levain and what was the ratio?
