Also- any tips on getting a better, more defined ear? Mine always seem to come out thicker and not as tall as I’d like. This one isn’t too bad though. All advice on anything is welcome.

  1. (I will clarify that I do this in two bus tubs in batches of 8x for 16 total loaves, as I work in a small bakery so the process is for a batch of dough 8x larger than the recipe is for. The recipe written below is for a 1x batch though)

    500g Craft plus central milling flour 375g water 100g starter 10g salt I autolyse my water and flour for about an hour and then add my salt and starter at peak (about 12 hours after feeding) I stretch and fold 6x every 20 minutes and then let bulk ferment at room temp for another 6 hours. I think I could’ve gone a little less though. I shape, then have them in the fridge for 14ish hours. Bake in dutch ovens for 30 minutes at 450 F then remove the lids and lower temp to 400 F for the last 20.

  2. I would say your crumb is similar to my typical loaf and I love mine. So thumbs up on your crumb!
