I think you've nailed this. Very nice bake and crumb. The 20% whole wheat would entice lots of flavour.
Cheers,

Thank you Gavin! Getting the results that you’ve planned for is just awesome. we love the flavour!!
cheers!

Carlo, I agree with Gavin, you nailed it, well done. I love that crumb it too is my ideal.

Thank you Benny! Truly an amazing crumb! I think this is what I will be aiming for most of the time..
Congrats on your bake! That crumb has such a uniform distribution. Really nice...
Thank you!! I think gluten developed on an early stage made this type of crumb, love this kind of crumb..
Nice bake. I was wondering what the fabric material lining your banneton is?
Thanks!!! That’s a disposable hair net..
That truly is a great crumb and loaf! Well done.
But did I get that right? You're mixing, then stretching twice within one hour, letting it sit for another and then placing it in the fridge for three more to bake within five hours? That's an impressive sourdough turnaround.
If I'm right I'd encourage you to a/b an experiment with one that's going into the fridge for overnight rather than 3 hours. I've tried that experiment and the taste is remarkably better from the overnight. Really great bake!!!
mixed everything in a mixer until gluten is developed(4pm) let it rest for 30 minutes then did 2 sets of stretch and folds with 30 minutes interval. Then I left it in the fridge to pause bulk fermentation, took it out of the around 10pm and let bulk on the counter for about 8 hours.(idt was 13c deg when taken out from the fridge)
room temperature that time I think was around 18c deg to 20c deg not really too sure but probably a bit warmer.
shaped at 6:00am and proof it at room temp for an hour, then in the fridge for 3 hours before baking. After proofing for an hour at room temp dough was about 70% to its full proof, it probably continued proofing in the fridge for another hour..
I do agree with much more flavour on longer cold proof. Thank you!!!
Echoing what everyone else said, that's a great crumb.
Did you keep any notes of the volume rise of your dough? Curious to know how high it rose.
Thank you!!!
To be honest I didn’t, just eyeballing, but the way I see it is like it was around 70% to it full proof when I did 1 hour proof. I think I should keep notes again.. I’ll do it next time.. thanks!
