6th loaf and so far my best imo

Recipe:

- 500 grams of unbleached bread flour.

- 100 grams starter

- 10 grams salt

- 335 grams of water (aiming for 70%)

- rough mix until shaggy, cover and stretch and fold every 30 minutes four times.

- bulk fermented for 12 hours in a 70f degree kitchen. Dough matched the temp when checked

- shaped it and placed it in a (rice flour)floured banetton .

- covered with a towel and let it cold proof in the fridge for 16 hours ( thats when i was home to bake it)

- preheated oven with dutch oven in it for 45 minutes to 450 degrees. Then dropped to 430 when i put the bread in to bake.

- took out loaf,placed it on silicone sling, and scored it

- placed it in the dutch oven and spritzed it with water, covered and baked with the lid for 35 minutes.

- took the lid off and baked it another 15 minutes uncovered.

- final loaf temp was 210 degrees Fahrenheit and let rest for 2 hours before slicing.

The final photos were the before and after the bulk fermentation.
