Such a great thread! Love seeing all this awesome bread.Chicago, IL - Large and Small BGE - Weber Gasser and Kettle

The versatility of CI makes it ideal in so many situations. Not the prettiest of loaves but, I'd eat that on the trail .

This morning’s bake. Making good sourdough for me is a long incremental journey of improvement. The good news is you get to eat the results of each attempt.

@NPHuskerFL I was up early this morning and the oven was still about 480 degrees after last night. I decided to bake the loaf I had in the refrigerator. I inverted a SS mixing bowl over the loaf for the first 20 minutes. This is the best loaf I have pulled from the WFO so far. The loaf is just a straight sourdough with KA BF.
I don’t have a crumb shot, but it is nice. Open but not so much that everything leaks through.Coleman, Texas

Not quite so dark, but we have softer crust fans around here. Very happy with the rise and the crumb.

This loaf made me happy. @lkapigian This is the recipe I gave you. As you get to know your starter and your shaping skills improve, your bread will get better and better.Coleman, Texas

First go at sourdough. This is from @20stone starter, aka Rob the Blob.

so do you folks have a basic rule of thumb recipe that gets you in the ballpark? there's a long-running thread on the fresh loaf about the 123 ratio for starter : water : flour - is that reasonable? also, how much weight of dough do you use for an average sized loaf?Chicago, IL - Large and Small BGE - Weber Gasser and Kettle -
This may not belong here, since commercial yeast was used, but I figured that fellow breadheads may appreciate the effort.
Yesterday afternoon, 4yo caliprince got it into his head that he wanted to make a "dough-nut" i.e. bread. Because that's what Pops spends a fair bit of time making.
So he pestered me into making some dough, which was a random mix of WW flour, water, and a sprinkling of yeast. No planning as such, since 4yo's have the attention span of a gnat (at least mine does).
He helped mix the dough, and sort of grasped the concept of letting it rise, before shaping it and popping it in the oven.
He was thrilled to bits when he saw it come out of the oven
No sliced pic, because he won’t let me cut it.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX. -

You can play with any (or all) of those variables to alter timeline
- Bakers percentage - By weight, most recipes are written as a % of total flour weight. That makes scaling easy, and you can alter the amount of levain you use (to hurry up/slow down your dough), and know that you can alter the remaining ingredients to get to the same all in hydration for the full recipe
- Use a scale
- Make 300g of levain (using 100g of starter, 100g of H2O and 100g of an AP/WW mix). Conveniently, the 100g of starter is about the amount I would otherwise discard when I feed AndGoo
- All in recipe of 1,000g of flour, 750-800g of H20 (75-80% hydration) and 22g of salt (that means I add 850g of flour and 600-650g of H20 to the levain)
- With that recipe, I make two loaves (either boules or large loaf pans)

@blind99 Most of my loaves are 1K
Basic recipe will vary given desired hydration ratio. But, an easy recipe using 1,2,3 method
150g starter
300g cool water
450g KABF
8g Salt
This will give you roughly 67%-71% hydration
Personally I prefer a higher hydration. Using the 1,2,3 is virtually dummy proof.
