I’ve been incredibly distracted with unpacking and organizing in my new home and I have not been consistent with my sourdough starter. I have been haphazardly feeding it when I remember. This will be a trial attempt to see if I can turn out decent loaf.
I mixed the dough in my KitchenAid with the dough hook and then put it in the refrigerator overnight. I did a shortcut version of “kneading” it again late this morning in my KitchenAid with the dough hook. I let it rise once and after a few hours and many distractions later, I divided the dough, did a few pull, stretches and folds. I’ll see if they rise in my stoneware loaf pans. I placed a damp towel over them. It’s chilly in my house, so I put my kombucha warmer belt around them to provide some warmth.
OK result - Not great but not terrible.
The rise collapsed a bit while I was heating up the oven. The outer crust is pretty hard and crunchy but the inside has a tender crumb, no large holes.
Very delicious with butter!

Note:
Next time I will try baking it in my stoneware roasters with lids.
Also, I am experimenting with using different types of flour and water to feed the starter. Not sure this starter likes my filtered tapwater. So for now, I’m using store bought purified water.
