After last week success, I followed a similar formulae and maintained a similar dough temp. Since this is more of a impulse bake, I first taste my refrigerated starter, but i find it a bit too sour, so I built the levain once @ 1:2:2 which gives me a milder tone. 

I mixed starter, flour, water thoroughly and let stand for 60mins. Using Pincer method to incorporate salt and develop gluten.

After 12 Hours Retard, it looks like 80% proof to me, so I bake it cold. But I guess I can give it an hour room temp proof before it goes into the DO.

It sprang beautifully and gives a fairly nice open crumb

that gets me excited.  Bold bake, good spring and bloom, great crumb, at least 50% whole grain, soaker water for liquid, whole berry soaker add in....this just has to be tasty as can be!  Well done and

Happy Baing in the New Year CeciC.
