pasta madre cracked edges
Anybody know why I'm getting cracked edges like this in my pasta madre? It's 40% hydration, hasn't happened in the previous feeds and even it came out of the mixer it was nice and smooth.
Am I overworking it?

When I have seen this, it usually has indicated that the balance in my lievito madre is off. Continue feeding it consistently, mix for around 7 minutes, then allow to sit for 10 minutes before rolling.
