About 8:00 am, cut open.  Not as much rise as I had hoped for.  I probably did not let the starter develop enough after feeding, or should have used more starter.  Crumb is tender, just the right amount of sponginess, not too dense. Plenty of small holes,

Approximately 50 mg of vitamin C worked fine.
