New here from Vancouver, BC

Hello everyone!

I have been snooping around this site for quite some time on and off looking for answers and recipes and have always been amazed at the vast amount of bread knowledge collectively there is on here, and how many people there are who are going through or have gone through the same bread journey as me.

I have always enjoyed cooking, and for a year now have been into the bread stuff. It sprung from an interest in fermentation (pickling, miso, sourkraut etc...) and a desire to replicate my favorite bread at the time: olive sourdough. After building my own SD starter last May and failing gloriously at my first first attempt with a high hydration dough with my weakly starter I knew this was something I could delve into and try to master. That first starter consumed itself while I was down in South America for a few months but coming back I was ready to settle in and this time do it right. I have really gone down the rabbit hole and obsessed over the intricacies of different starters, different mixing, folding resting etc. strategies. I have pulled some amazing loaves out of my oven and some not so amazing ones since, and expect to continue down my journey in much the same way, but sharing it with you all. Can't wait!

I guess I will introduce some of my loaves as well:
