Improvement from last loaf [tartine country recipe - 65% hydration]

Profile picture for user young_and_poolish

Still learning and my shaping is still quite noticeably bad, but I can feel big improvements from my last few bakes. The scoring was easier this time also.

Went for 65% hydration, going to slowly build up to 80%.

Method

  • Made leaven in the morning and left until I got back from work.
  • Mixed dough, left to rest, added salt, begun BF.
  • 2 1/2 hours of BF @ room temp with 6 turns.
  • Dough then placed in fridge overnight to continue BF.
  • Initial shaping, bench rest + final shaping before proving in bannetons back in the fridge, finishing just after 8am.
  • Heated oven and begun bake around 6pm.
