Older and Wiser - Field Blend #2

Profile picture for user thedoughycoed

Thanks to everyone who responded to my cry for help, I established a rye starter, invested in a dutch oven, and made sourdough for real. This is my first loaf without training wheels, and I'm quite pleased. After some research this is my approximation of FWSY's Field Blend #2.

 

Excellent work! This formula really is a winner. Baking with one's own starter is the surest way to get hooked on baking with an intensity you couldn't have previously imagined!

Thank you! With this being the first time doing a true sourdough, I was wary of the extended rise, stretch and fold, and cold fermentation, but boy did it do the trick. I definitely trust this process now. 

Doughy, that bread is so beautiful, if it were a woman, I'd whistle at her :)

In all seriousness, it looks amazing.
