Nice work! Be sure to share it with family and/or friends and bask in the glow of their rave compliments. Then get ready to make more! Congratulations!

but soon you'll want to workout a less time consuming maintenance where you keep a little starter in the fridge taking off a tad to build a levain (as in the recipe) then topping your starter up when it runs low. When topping your starter up just take it out of the fridge, feed it, allow it to bubble up by half and return it to the fridge where it can remain for a few weeks before it needs feeding again.

Lovely bake indeed.

How about this Tartine style sourdough, from the same website, introducing some wholegrain for the next step https://www.weekendbakery.com/posts/our-version-of-tartine-style-bread/

P.s. they do give an option in the recipe for a hybrid version but I think go for a 100% sourdough so miss out the added yeast and follow the method for sourdough only.
