Guys… I could cry!
I have been baking sourdough for about two months now. For a while, I had not made even a decent loaf yet and had been so discouraged. After so much trial and error, finally made a perfect (in my eyes) loaf and I am overjoyed! This has been such a struggle and I am ecstatic to finally have made a loaf I’m proud of!
First 2 pics are my new loaf. Others are my progress from recent to the beginning.
The recipe:
100g peak starter
350g water
350g bread flour
150g AP flour
12g salt
100 slap and folds immediately
rest 1 hr
stretch and folds every 45 min x4
rest 3-4 hr until jiggly and bubbly
preshape, rest 40 min
shape and put in fridge
next morning…
bake 25 min @ 475 covered
35 min & 450 uncovered
please add any insights, questions, or tips!

Congratulations, it looks great! Much better than the earlier attempts, what do you do differently this last time?
Congrats, what did you change in your routine to make a significant jump in the final result (beside the starter age) ?
Huge congrats this is a true sourdough success story.
