Sourdough Batard

This is my third attempt at baking a sourdough loaf.  I increased the weights for my dough and had the benefit of being home to keep an eye on things from start to finish.  Pics of the process posted to instagram.  I used a 60% hydration, as my last attempt with a 70% hydration was a bit more than I could handle.

300 grams of King Arthur Bread Flour - http://instagr.am/p/NIG34NxEaw/ [1]

188 grams of warm water - http://instagr.am/p/NIHMoeREa_/ [2]
