090525 Susan's 63% Hydration Sourdough - by Yippee


The ‘force’ was very strong this weekend, because I had the blessings from Susan of San Diego.    It was so strong that I could feel it as soon as the bouncy boule-shaped dough rolled out of my palm after one of its many S&Fs. From that moment, I knew I was going to make it.  Here it is, and Susan, I’m forever grateful to you!

Beautiful bread, Yippee

Nice work!

Oven Spring

You've achieved a nice oven spring.

I've never done a sourdough with such low hydration myself, do you think the hydration had a significant impact on the level of oven spring in your loaf?

Gluten

I think it has something to do with the amount of gluten developed during stretch and fold.  Let's hear what the sourdough experts have to say.
