My first ever loaf! I made my own starter using KA whole wheat flour. Always feeding 1:1:1. It took me about 2-3 months to get it up and running.

I used 500 g KA bread flour

100 g starter

350 g water (I just used tap)

10 g salt

First I mixed starter and water then added flour and let sit for 30 minutes- 1 hour (I forget). Then I added salt. Then I did four sets of stretch and fold with 30 minutes between each (two hours total). Then I continued to bulk ferment for 6 hours. Final shape. Cold proofed in fridge around 11 and baked at 8 AM. Preheat oven to 500 with Dutch oven inside. Then I baked at 450 for 30 minutes with lid on and 20 with lid off. Then waited until cooled to cut!
