Almost shed a tear pulling this out of the oven


Stole this recipe from a post a couple days ago by u/jean_spraghetti and absolutely floored at how well it turned out!!

It’s identical to her recipe but I will repeat the method:

125g active starter, 13g salt, 350ml warm water, 525g bread flour

  1. Combine into shaggy dough and let rest on counter for 1 hour
  2. Perform 10 stretch and folds then let rest 30 mins
  3. Perform 3 more rounds of stretch and folds every 30 minutes
  4. Bulk ferment on counter for 2.5 hours
  5. Shape dough and proof in fridge for 12 hours
  6. Bake covered in Dutch oven 475° for 30 mins
  7. Lower temp to 425° and bake uncovered another 6-10 mins until desired darkness

    Wow! I would have felt the same way if I uncovered my Dutch oven to reveal that beauty.

    I love that moment (usually) when you take off the lid and see how your loaf did in that initial bake.

    Perfection! Will try this asap. Thanks!

    Hi, brand new to sourdough and hoping to bake my first loaf this weekend. Do you preheat the oven with the Dutch oven inside before dropping the loaf in to bake?

    Looks delicious, I am imagining spreading butter on a slice of your bread. 😋
