I'm fairly comfortable with yeast breads but was gifted starter last week. Here is my 4th attempt lol
P.S – shaping is still a mystery to me.
200g water
150g starter
350g flour
13g salt
- Machine knead for 6 minutes
- 5 minute cool down
- Machine knead for 6 minutes
- Folds at 30 min, 60 min, 120 min
- 6 hrs total bulk
- 'shape' and plop into a greased metal bread pan.
- 3 hrs rise before fridge overnight.
375° for 50 min, tossed a couple ice cubes in the bottom of my stove when the loaf went in
Does that sound about right?😅

I am no bread making expert but I could be considered a bread eating expert and that looks wonderful to me
I would say you nailed it. Looks great!
I’d be pretty happy
absolutely
Where’s mine? And I’ll take it toasted with butter, please! Seriously, that looks scrumptious!!!
Looks great! That’s a fair bit of starter, but it looks to have worked out really well!
I think in a loaf pan, you probably just want to score in the center?
It looks tasty, but might be a little overproofed. Looks like it didn’t get much oven spring.
That crust looks stellar. How’s the crumb?
that looks so freaking good!!
All I know is that you’re gonna be vacuuming a lot because of that ridiculously crispy crust that’s gonna fly everywhere. It’s wonderful!
You’re not telling us something am I right… any commercial yeast in there ya?
How long was your final proof after shaping?
I think you’ve arrived
That looks beautiful! Nice blistering and nice crumb. Good job!
Absolutely not. You should definitely mail me a loaf so I can check. 🤣
Jk, it looks amazing!
What kind of pan did you use? That’s the first time I’ve seen that shape for what looks like a cast iron sourdough bake.
