I was quite literally jumping for joy when I took the lid off my D/O! 🥹

Ingredients:
450g AP flour
280-290g water
10g salt
150g starter

Method:
– Mix all ingredients let sit for 30mins
– Followed by 3 sets of stretch at folds in 30 mins increments
– BF for 6.5 hours
– Shape and proof in refrigerator for 8-12 hours
– Preheat oven to 475° with D/O for 30 mins
– Score and lower temp to 430° bake with lid on for 20 mins
– remove lid and bake for 25 mins

I did something that usually is frowned upon with sourdough baking, which is changing more than one variable in a bake. I recently got a Dutch oven, I changed how many stretch and folds I did from 1 to 3, I changed the BF time from 5.5 to 6.5 hours, I changed the oven temp from preheating to 500° and lowering to 420° to preheating to 475° and lowering to 430° to include preheating my D/O with it, and I changed how long I bake from 15 mins with lid on to 20 mins with the lid on.

All to say I am so so so happy with the oven spring, and crumb (for the most part there is some tunneling that is like to fix). Any tips would be much appreciated!!

Excited to try again and make it even better!
