Another plain white sourdough..
Tonight's bake.. Here are a couple of 1lb plain white sourdoughs. Nothing too fancy, just practicing and taking notes of things. This was a 68% hydration dough, made from 20% liquid levain preferment (125% hydration levain). KA Bread Flour. I did not use a brotform or banneton, just shaped and did the final rise free standing. Tastes great! I accidentally put them a little too close together in the oven, they joined together slightly on one side near the bottom, but not too bad.
I did a better job at shaping + scoring the one on the left....
Little bit of a ear, not much...
I cut open the lesser of the two loaves, still a bit warm, but wanted to see the crumb.
