I think Iโ€™m getting the hang of it Iโ€™m just wondering if this looks over proofed?! Or am I on the right track getting a better read of bulk fermentation?! ๐Ÿฅด

My recipe is:
80g starter
250g water
350g flour
10g salt

    I mean, that crumb looks a little overproofed. But common, the regular flour isn’t for making perfect quality bread… I don’t know. The holes in the crumb shouldn’t be so spaced out?

    I think you got it spot on! There is a small range of slightly under to slightly over that gives you this nice varied crumb. At this level of proofing, it is difficult to determine if your bigger holes/pockets have anything to do with proofing or if they are just larger air bubbles that remained in the dough during shaping. If you like them, then keep doing what you are doing! If you dont like them make sure to gently pat your dough when you spread it out for shaping to disperse the bigger bubbles ๐Ÿ˜€

  5. This is good, youโ€™re definitely on the right track as far as pin pointing fermentation.

    Hi. Very nice looking loaf right level of ferment and proof. Might try letter folds to distribute voids more evenly and roll into boule for shaping.

    Happy baking

    I honestly believe it’s all in what you like. I prefer smaller and fewer holes. Some things gotta hold the jelly ๐Ÿ˜„ I’m sure it tastes amazing ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

    Nice! Pretty even crumb with good structure. Those super airy open crumb loaves are popular on here (and theyโ€™re great and all) but have ya ever tried to eat a sandwich made from one? This is what I want out of my sourdough.

    I think it is a fine crumb, if you donโ€™t mind the holes that big itโ€™s perfectโ€ฆ Iโ€™d be proud of it
