Loaf Log 004


I think I baked this one two minutes too long but the bread itself tastes great. It was SUPER hard to cut into. I used COLD sourdough starter and I think for whatever reason that may have helped with the rise? I was also super on top of doing the folds every thirty minutes, and letting it sit out for 4-5 hours to rise before shaping it and putting it in the fridge overnight.

Rating: 

  • Crumb: 8/10 - slightly overcooked
  • Pockets: 10/10 - larger pockets, dispersed evenly, just the way I like it
  • Rise: 10/10 - I didn't go that deep on the scoring for either the main, or the decorative scores - for some reason that may have helped the ventilation???

Not crazy about how the scoring turned out, but it REALLY rose!!
