That’s how  I rolled yesterday. Outside then run in and do some turns. Me and the bread survived. 
 
600g flour ( Kamut 300g from Tom and 300g Stardust milled) 

300g water

13 g salt 

150 g Trinity ( EVOO, homemade yogurt, Date Nectar)

360g levain ( 100% hydration Arrowhead BF)

375° 25 min lid on/ 20 min lid off

Retarded the dough which I haven’t done in quite a while. Crumb more open at the top of the loaf  from the retarding . A tad more sour but not to much. Wonderful buttery flavor. 

Fragrance is wonderful due to the buttery crust. 
Turned bowl in picture is for Benny. It’s a Ron Boatwright Elm wood purchased in Mountain View Arkansas late 90’s . I ran a 50k ultra crossed the White River out and back, rope strung across to keep us from going downstream! 
1st picture :Before retarded after room temp rise for a couple hours: 

Just shaped using my wet counter pat out and then roll and place in pan:

More open at the top due to the fermantation in the fridge:

The bowl is a beauty, too.

Your countertop looks very much like the so-called black granite we have in our kitchen.  I don’t know what ours really is (basalt, maybe?) but we like it.  The veining reminds us of the soapstone counters in our previous home.

Just had some with butter and a big salad for lunch. It’s very good and quite tender. 

The counters are all soapstone and the island with a soapstone sink custom to fit into the counter. 

I had all soapstone in AL in our 1890 house too and 2  soapstone sinks both antiques . Oh and an antique marble slab as well back then. No one does soapstone around here so these guys were great and drove from Northern VA down 2x once to measure and once to install. c 

The loaf looks good and I'm keen to know how you like the kamut's contribution.  I'm a real sucker for turned wood shapes like that, thanks for including its picture.

Bread and bowl 🤩.  Looks perfect for some soft butter.

Best regards,

Was delicious. I cut the long  loaves into 3 blocks. Freeze 2 and slice and freeze 1. We have toast and sandwiches with it. The crumb was lovely through the whole center parts so that end was a fluke. I think we agree we like it not retarded. I’m also going to up the pff to 40% next batch . Always tinkering. 😊
