Any suggested improvements? This is my best yet and I’m over the moon. Tastes phenomenal! Have just defrosted some smoked salmon for the morning 🙌

150g active starter

350 warm water

Mix

Add:

12g salt

500g bread flour

Mix loosely

Cover and leave on the counter for 30 mins (autolyze)

  1. After 30mins: stretch and fold

  2. After 30 minutes: stretch and fold

  3. After 30 minutes: stretch and fold

  4. Bulk ferment 2-3 hours (dough doubled, it was around 30°c outside/inside similar)

  5. Stick in fridge (48 hrs total, shaped at 24hrs and placed in banneton back inside fridge)

  6. Take out 1 hour before baking, preheat DO with oven on max (useless oven, I think max is 260°c)

  7. Bake 30 mins inside DO, 10–15 ish lid off

    I’d say yes! Looks fantastic! Nothing quite like the feeling you get when you finally get it right is there?

  2. The crumb looks very good. If you want more of an ear, move your score away from the center towards the edge and lay the blade down towards the table and make your cut.
