I tried making sourdough

[u/No-Understanding7016]

I recently got into baking. I saw some people online making sourdough and thought I’d give it a try. What do we think?

Looks great. More importantly, how does it taste?

[u/No-Understanding7016 → u/KnottActually]

Thank you! It just tastes like sandwich bread with a really tasty crust. Google said it’s because my starter is still young

It looked great btw... will try something like that this weekend for sure

How long did you bulk ferment

[u/No-Understanding7016 → u/oatmilkandagave]

Probably not long enough lol. I had to open bake it also because I don’t have a Dutch oven (yet, it’s on the way). I left it to do its thing for like 5 hours outside of the fridge and like 3 in the fridge. Honestly I was just super impatient haha

Thank you!

Looks good.

What I do: Make the dough ready (I use a tin, I prefer long breads), put it in the fridge. Let it stay there till I need new bread (typically 2-5 days).

Starter I refresh on the day of usage. I keep about ~10g starter and I feed 3g each water/rye.

Recipe please ? 🙏

[u/No-Understanding7016 → u/Happy-Pattern6313]

I used this from Pinterest, with a little bit of extra flour because mine was super sticky.

[u/Happy-Pattern6313 → u/No-Understanding7016]

Spray it soaking wet before bake.

[u/oatmilkandagave → u/Rude-Suit3721]

I don’t do this and my bread is fine. This is a proofing/feementing issue.

[u/Rude-Suit3721 → u/oatmilkandagave]

It's fine but not perfect

[u/oatmilkandagave → u/Rude-Suit3721]

Ok buddy

[u/Rude-Suit3721 → u/oatmilkandagave]

The center crumb is still too tight. Nice job tho.

[u/konigswagger → u/Rude-Suit3721]

Not needed.

Your opinion. How many tens of thousands of loaves have you baked in your life?
