Starter is healthy and my loafs are consistent. I super appreciate this sub and all the council that has helped me go from seriously bad to where I want to be. The last improvement I hope to achieve is a fully even crumb

500 g flour
380 g water

1 hour autoLyse

100 g starter
12 g salt

Combine it all and mix together by hand

Wait 30. Stretch and fold. Repeat / more times and 30 min intervals. Go to sleep. 12:00 am

Shape and into banneton after 8 hour bulk rise at 65 degrees or so.

Into fridge for 8 hours

Preheat Dutch oven to 500 for an hour
Bake covered at 500 for 20
Bake uncovered at 400 for 20

Wait three hours to cut

    Congrats. If you look back at the first few tries, what would be the fundamental differences and learnings that got you here?

    Do you think this is the result of a mature starter or better technique with the dough?
