first ever sourdough using my homemade 10day old starter – feedback?


this was my first time baking sourdough following the recipe from Natasha’s Kitchen – i’d appreciate any feedback you have!!

recipe:

  • 400g bread flour
  • 55g whole wheat flour
  • 345g water
  • 100g active starter

  • 10g salt

  • hand mixed all for 5mins

  • 4hr bulk ferment, stretch and folds every hour, left covered in oven warmed to about 20°c

  • shaped and bench rest for 20mins

  • tightened and placed in makeshift proofing basket (cloth and colander) overnight in fridge

  • baked covered in dutch oven at 225°c for 20mins and uncovered at 200°c for another 20

it tasted real good but my scoring could use some work…. any advice?

    The last time I made a starter from scratch day 10 was when I was finally getting decent activity lol

    Um, pretty darn good! “What most people would be happy with all the time” good. Eat it while it’s still fresh!

    Appears good, great potential. Oven may be a little hot your crust looks deep and over caramellised, but that may be intentional. To reduce burning shield load from direct heat durimg ‘Lid off’ phase. I use a foil cap.

    Happy baking
