My starter has 3 weeks (from scratch) and it's my 4th loaf. I feel like this one is finaly good!
recipe:
120g starter
350g water
500g flour
10g salt
I used this video: https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSDLBxhUY/ but did only half of it (for one loaf). I also used the sourdough journey chart for the temperature. I used water slightly heated at 110F, followed the tiktok. From the mixing to the shaping it took about 6 hours of bulk fermentation. Keep in mind that my water was a bit on the hot side, and my house was around 71F. I'm experimenting with the water temperature and bulk fermentation timings, but i think what helped me the most is checking tiktok video of what it looks like when a bulk fermentation is done. After shaping, it went in the fridge for about 15 hours, I baked it in a dutch oven that was preheater for 450F for 25min with the lid, and 15min without the lid.
