123 sourdough sandwich bread

Not sure that this is going to last long enough to make sandwiches out of...... its good.

I followed the 123 recipe here.

mixed 9-10 oz starter, 18 oz bread flour, 9 oz regular flour, 18 oz water and 1 Tbsp salt (remembered to add salt this time!)

did 2 stretch and folds, retarded in fridge overnight.  Did one more stretch and fold, shaped, and put in loaf pans.  Let sit in fridge for 8-10 hours.  Let it warm up to room temp for about 60 minutes while oven preheated;  put it in even though it was still cold.  I was worried it wouldn't rise much, but it seemed to do ok.  Cooked at 500 for 10 minutes and 425 for 30-35 more.  

Crust is nice and chewy, and check out the crumb!

I had a piece with butter for breakfast.  Yummo.  I doubt it will last the day :)

Flo's 1-2-3 formula is pretty interesting, isn't it?  I just started playing around with it, looking for an easy formual to bake in between working, raking leaves,  stacking the winter wood supply, and getting the homestead battened down for the oncoming winter.

Nice job - if you have some organic rye around, it brings a nice taste to the party.
