1-2-3 Second Attempt

  • I tried the 1-2-3 loaf starting with 100g of starter.
  • I mixed it up but the dough would not come to together. 
  • After about 4 hours I did 2 sets of 50 slap and folds. That seems to have improved it. 
  • Did a preshaping and a shaping. I was not very impressed with the dough, very watery. 
  • I put it in the basket and put it in the fridge for over 24 hours. 
  • When it came out of the fridge it had hardly risen, didn't rise as the oven heated. 
  • Baked at the usual 450 after heating at 500 for 20 covered, then 30 minutes uncovered. 

Considering what I saw before it went into the oven (nearly a pancake) I am pretty happy with the results. Next time I think I will start with some slapping and folding. Also I feel that 1-2-3 needs more water, is it 71% hydration?

Here is a visual journal of the steps...
