Recipe I used:

Mixed 1000g of bread flour with 750g of warm filtered water and let sit for an hour.
Add 220(ish)g of active starter at its peak, 20g of salt, and a splash of water. Mixed this and let it sit covered for 10 minutes.
I then performed stretch and folds for 10 minutes straight, then let it sit for an hour.
Every hour I would check on it and do one set (4 total) of stretch and folds….it took about 4 hours of doing this.
Once it was jiggly and bubbly I sprinkled the counter with flour and divided the dough into two. I shaped them, then let them relax for 10 minutes.
Once relaxed I shaped both into a boule and put them in bannetons, covering them and letting them sit out on the counter for about an hour and a half.
I did a poke test and was happy to see the dough rise slowly back so I popped them in the fridge for about 12 hours.
I preheated my oven with my Dutch oven inside at 500° F, and left it for an hour to make sure it was thoroughly heated through.
I took one basket out and flipped the dough onto parchment paper, sprinkled with flour, and scored it.
From here it went right into the Dutch oven, covered for 20ish minutes. I then took the lid off and reduced the heat to 450°F and let it cook for another 30ish minutes.

I’m sorry if that was wonky to read! I learned this recipe from a video so it wasn’t prewritten (and I clearly don’t know all of the sourdough terminology 😅)

Overall I’m pretty happy with how it came out! I need to get better at scoring it to get a more pronounced ear but for my first attempt I think I did an alright job
