How can I improve?
I've been making sourdough for a little over a month now, can't seem to nail the air pockets, not sure what to do next.
here this the recipe I'm making:
100g Starter
375g warm water
500g bread flour
12g salt
I mixed the ingredients, let rest for 30 minutes
Did an envelope fold and I repeated this step every 30 minutes for 2 hours
3. I put it in an air tight container for 4 hours in my oven until it was doubled in size.
4. Cold proof for 2.5 hours (I have tried doing this for 6 and 12 hours and saw no differnce so I just do 2.5 hours now)
5. Preheat dutch oven for 45 minutes at 500
6. Baked at 450 with lid on for 8 minutes, cut a score, put it back with the lid on for 22 minutes.
7. Removed lid, turned oven to 400 and baked for 10 minutes
8. Removed the bread from the Dutch oven and baked on the oven rack for 8 minutes
This is an altered version of this recipe:
