This is loaf number 6 as a beginner baker. I made my starter on January 20th 8 hours on the counter and 8 hours in the refrigerator before baking.

Sourdough notes

Recipe makes 2 loaves 200g active starter, 650g water, 950g AP flour, 20g salt Start time: 7pm

Add 200g of starter to 650g of warm water and mix thoroughly. Let rest for 1 hour to let starter become bloomed

Add 950g of flour to the water, salt, and starter slurry Mix with a Dutch whisk until you have a shaggy dough Take the temperature of your dough Let sit for 45 minutes

After 45 minutes add 20g of salt to your dough and begin your stretch and folds Do 1 set of folds every 30 minutes Repeat until you’ve done 4 sets of stretch and folds Take the temperature of your dough 82 degrees

Proofing/Bulk Fermentation Dough warmer than 80 degrees will proof in less than 5 and a half hours 75 degrees will proof in roughly 7 hours 70 degrees will proof in roughly 12 hours 65 degrees will proof in roughly 16 hours

Place in refrigerator at any point to slow ferment to prevent over proofing. Always check the temp of your dough.
