First Tartine Sourdough loaves

Profile picture for user Gwen

Made this morning after an all night rise. The house smells lovely!

Especially for a first attempt at a notoriously difficult recipe... Well done

Thanks. I've been pushing out loaves all this week trying to get the process down. I baked two more batches so far. Here's the photo of the La Brea olive sourdough. One of these I didn't use a cloches and very much noticed the difference. I also tried a Tartine olive/lemon/walnut sourdough, one with a banneton and cloche and one without. I'm now convinced to only use a banneton and cloche for sourdoughs!  

I'm prepping the semolina Tartine right now. 

So my next loaves were nowhere near risen enough. I'm confused with how much to feed my starter. And if there is a difference between what I feed something in the refrigerator and what I'm prepping for bread. Argh!!!
