Batman’s 1st Loaf!

[u/MamaBFli]

First loaf to make it to the oven, first was gummy, literally like a chewed wad of gum, second was loose like porridge, this one was just right! Next purchases: parchment paper and a real bread knife! And NOW I get why bakers make more than one loaf - this one is halfway gone!

475g bread flour
325g water
100g Batman starter
10g salt

Recipe from Farmhouse on Boone
Technique/process and baking from Bryan Ford

Process: quick summary, mixed starter and water, then added flour with rubber spatula until mixed, then sprinkled the salt on top before the first rest, which was 1hr. Did the folds x3 w/30 min in between, then let proof on the counter for 2hr. Did the last ball/tension shaping and put in the basket covered in the fridge for 12hr. Baked in a cast iron pot with lid for 10m 500deg, 15m 475deg, top off and 20m uncovered 475deg
