I’m so happy! Second try at sourdough bread with a rye starter, first try was awful, came out like a pancake, tried to lower recipe hydration from 78 to 70 and there it is!!! Tasted so good!

Seems like the inside was a bit underproofed but I think it’s better than having an overproofed loaf right?

    450 gr bread flour
    300 gr water
    100 gr starter (I used dark rye)
    10 gr salt
    3 sets of stretch and folds, 4 hours bulk ferment and 12 hours cold proof.

    That looks amazing!!! I haven’t made a second load yet but I’d love it to be as good as yours!!

    Looks great! I’ve been pushing my bread longer as I find that it’s much nicer to eat when it’s a bit over than a bit under. That’s my preference though – under feels a bit squeaky to me when I chew. I’d suggest extending your BF a bit longer next time, and keep going, you can always go back again but you’ll find the best spot 🙂
