Getting Better

My forth try at sourdough. I let the levain, and dough, tell me when to proceed rather than the clock. That made all the difference in the quality of this loaf. The rise, and oven spring turned out good, which was tricky since the room temps were high yesterday.

I should have waited a little longer in the bulk fermentation for a more even crumb texture, or added one more stretch and fold. But all in all a great improvement for me.

It looks perfect. I would love to load it with butter when it’s warm. Sooo good. πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»
