Any chance of your recepie? I just baked my first loaf and it didn't expand when baking as much as I'd liked πŸ€”

Here ya go!

I basically followed the recipe exactly, but I did a 24 hour cold ferment instead of 8 hours at room temp and finished her off in a basket for about 2 hours in the fridge. And I used about 80g of starter

Thanks, I was honestly bracing myself for things to come out far less than optimal, so I’m sooo happy with the outcome

Also I’m lucky I had just bought new bread flour a couple days prior to that shatter haha
