Hey guys!
I decided to kinda wing a bread dough. I starter with about 3/4 cup active starter (around 100% hydration). Added 175 grams whole wheat flour, and 175 grams water. Let it sit out for about 7 hours. It got nice and bubbley and puffed up. To this I added 250 grams bread flour and 250 grams water. This I then put in the fridge and am going to take it out about 36 hours later.
What would be teh best way to tunr this into bread? I was thinking I just add flour to bring teh hydration down to arounf 65-70l Let ir rise, shape it proof it and then cook it. I was also thinking I would bring it out of teh fridge and let it warm up for a few hours before I add any flour.
Suggestions?

Flour, water, salt, leavening = bread. You have three of the ingredients. All you need to do is adjust the formula for preferred hydration, flavor (salt) and leaveniing (yeast - starter) and go for it.
Yip,
I guess I was asking more what should I do as far as procedure. Should I let it warm up before I add more flour, or add the flour straight out of the fridge and let it warmup and rise at the same time. Or if I needed to add considerably more flour so it has new food to rise.
Bread is fun...
Salt I was aware of.
Thanks!!
Update.
What I did was take it out of the fridge for about 1.5 hours. I added another 200 grams of whole wheat flour and 200 grams of bread flour, 2 tsp sea saltand mixed it up. I added enough water to get it to where I wanted it to be. Let it rise, shaped it, proofed it and then cooked it with steam in a 450 (ish) over.
Seeing as it is only the 2nd bread I have made with a starter I am super happy with it. It tastes great, really sour, and has a good crust. I think it coudl have used another 5 mins in the oven but it is worth eatin'
