Life of the Party
Using ripe starter this time! And this recipe! Dough looks great, I'll let it rise for 90 minutes to start.. I used 1 tsp of yeast and the starter looked like the honey badger of starter when I weighed it out! BTW I don't know how I never bothered with a scale in baking or bread making before.. it's so much easier than messing with cups or figuring out what your grandmother meant when she said a handful of this or that in the recipe! I'll probably put in in the fridge and let it ferment for a day or too before I cook it.. if I can be that patient! Haha!

Crunchy crust, soft crumb, super aromatic and rich tasting. She's a good one.

First of two boules coming out of the oven (still too hot to cut into). Making some grilled cheeses to go with the tomato soup I just made. Simultaneously making a pound of Ranchi Gordo beans for dinner tomorrow and the bread will go perfect with them. I like to make my beans the day before so they absorb all the flavors (same with soups).

Great shape and oven spring! How much flour for that loaf? (400g?)
