My first loaf 🥹❤️

Picked up my 50g starter from my local Buy Nothing group, accidentally only fed her 25g each of water and flour (Costco Organic AP flour) so that was a miss and had to feed MORE before getting started 🥲

With now a 100G starter, I added 100G water and 100g flour and prepared for it to blow up overnight on the counter (spoiler alert: it did) so I had plenty to work with 🤣

Pre-Bake Day:
– saved 50g of starter and fed it 100g water and 100g flour (this was my neighbors feed recipe), let it chill on the counter for a few hours, then stashed away in the fridge for next week
– took 125g starter, added 300g water, 500g flour, 10g of salt
– mix until shaggy and let sit for 30min (started process around 730am)
– stretch and fold (30min wait between) x3
– coil folds x2 (accidentally waited a bit longer inbetween these)
– bulk ferment for 4hrs ish
– shaped dough, seam side up in banneton, lightly covered with Saran Wrap and into the fridge (5pm)

Bake day:
– flipped dough onto parchment paper seem side down and scored (need a new blade cause it dragged a bit)
– preheat oven and Dutch at 450F
– baked and covered for 30min
– uncovered for 10min
– sat for hour and a half outside on cooling rack ✨

OPEN TO ADVICE AND FEEDBACK
My first loaf… I’m so excited and it was delicious ❤️
Going to be baking it up big time this holiday season to give bread for gifts.
