Yestefday I baked my first sourdough bread after my starter was ready.
I followed King Arthurs No-knead Dourdough recipe which i saw was recommendet in here for beginners.
I chose this recipe as it uses 227g starter and i had a big one. But to have enough for sure i split my starter the day before and fed both of them.
For the recipe i mix 600g flour and 397g water (32°C) and let them rest for an hour (autolyse) before adding 227g starter and 18g of salt.
Followed by 3 sets of strech and fold every 30 minutes. Here i added 10g Flour at the first set as the dough seemed too wet for me (i should have reduced the water at the beginning as i know that our flour needs less water than normal the last 1.5 years)
After that i let it rest in the fridge (5°C) for 12 hours.
I took the dough out of the fridge, shaped it into a rough ball and let it rest for 15 minutes covered.
Here i changed the original recipe a bit as i let it rest for 3h in a basket for 3 hours instead of the baking vessel.
After that 3 hours i fliped, foured and scored it before puting it into the cold dutch oven.
Ovennwas pre-heated to 260°C for an hour. I reduced it to 230°C and baked the bread 45minutes with and 19 without covered.
I let it rest for 2.30h before cutting it (maybe a bit early)
Thank you for your feedback
(Today i bake two more breads after Maurizio Leos recipe)

That strong boule before baking is really impressive.
Nice crust! The more popular recipe to try has a bulk ferment before going in the fridge
Correction: the time between stretch and fold was 1 hour not 30 minutes
I followed this recipe [King Arthur No knead Sourdough](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/no-knead-sourdough-bread-recipe)
