ok so basically sourdough is just flour water salt + starter but the timing matters way more than the ingredients
mix 500g bread flour + like 300g water first
let that sit like 30-45 min (thats autolyse but whatever)
then add
100g active starter (it gotta be bubbly not dead)
10g salt
the last 50g water
mix it till it comes together its gonna feel kinda sticky thats normal
now bulk ferment just let it sit on the counter for like 3-5 hours
every 30 min do stretch and folds (like 3-4 times total)
just grab the dough, stretch it up, fold it over itself
it’ll go from ugly and shaggy smooth and kinda bouncy
dump it out, shape it lightly into a ball
let it chill like 15-20 min
then shape it tighter (this part matters, get tension on it)
throw it in a floured bowl or banneton
put it in the fridge overnight (like 8-16 hrs)
this is where the flavor actually gets good
next day
preheat oven to 475 with a dutch oven inside
flip dough out, score it
bake 20 min covered then 20-25 uncovered
let it cool before cutting or you’ll ruin it (fr this part sucks but matters)
high effort thread hope you enjoy
