My first sourdough loaves
OK, baked my first sourdough today and I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. A few things I screwed up on:
1. Biggest mistake. Forgot to add salt to the dough. So it's pretty bland - but it's still tart like a sourdough should be.
2. I'll add more AP next time to try to get a looser crumb - I like bigger holes in my bread. Does anyone else have any good ideas on this? I've read AP helps, as does a wetter dough.
Overall, I'm happy with the spring I got and the look of the loaves. Any suggestions are certainly welcome.
