First loaf EVER

Hi everyone! I made my first loaf yesterday, below is the recipe I used. I did use the recipe in this sub but I messed up the measurements slightly lol

• 100g starter
• 350g warm water

Combined

• 500g white bread flour

Covered for 40 minutes

Added:
– 20g salt
– 50g water
(This is where I messed up, I was only doing half the recipe and accidentally added the full amount of salt and water instead of halfing it)

I did 4 rounds of stretch and folds 30 minutes apart

I transferred the dough to my counter and shaped, I forgot to laminate until after I had shaped it and didn’t want to mess with it too much. While shaping I did pull it too hard and ripped the top so I attempted to connect it back together. I definitely need to practice the shaping part.

I added white flour to my rising basket and let it rise for about 5 hours on the counter, my house was about 74 degrees and I was baking a chicken in the meantime.

I preheated my Dutch oven at 500, scored and added the dough and two ice cubes.

Baked at 450 for 20 minutes, then baked uncovered for an additional 20 minutes.

I only waited 30 minutes to cut because I was so excited and it definitely was a bit gummy when I did that so I will definitely not do that next time.

All in all even with the extra salt I added it has a great flavor, I would like it to be more fluffy next time.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
