    Hello everyone – so first of all, recipe: 

    800g 00 flour 
    100g whole wheat dinkle
    100g semola durum wheat 
    200g starter 
    750g water 
    20g salt 

    Mixed with a series of coil folds every 30 minutes for 3 hours. Shaped and put into fridge over night. 

    I’m quite sure this dough is overproofed – despite it being overproofed and not looking so nice, it’s my favorite loaf I’ve baked so far. It’s fluffy, sour, with a really nice crust. But the crumb isn’t as open as I’m going for. 

    My shaping technique is getting much better especially with higher hydration sticky dough. I’m guessing I overproofed here and maybe I’m answering my own question, but why is it so easy to overproof? I feel like I just be missing the sweet spot by a matter of 15-30 minutes. 

    The dough spread out quite a bit after scoring but somehow still had ok oven spring. 

    Any advice from given info would be appreciated, and I’m just gonna keep baking till I get it 🙂
