I’ve tried off and on for 4 years to make a loaf of sourdough.. I’ve always failed and I didn’t know why… this time, I got a small amount of sourdough from the local bakery and followed the Tartine Bread book. I think that made the difference. The starter was really lively! How’s my crumb?

Also, how do I prevent the bottom from being rock hard. I tried the sheet pan under Dutch oven method and it was still pretty tough to cut through.
