Forkish FWSY Field Blend #2
My first use of my young (10 days) SD starter, and first attempt at FWSY Field Blend #2, which I've had my eye on for a while.
It's a hybrid dough, so unsure how well the starter did (a concurrent txfarmer 36 hour baguette attempt with pure levain is not going well so far), but the bread came out quite well and smelled amazing while baking, and afterwards.
I gave this to a very good friend as a going away gift so didn't get to taste it, but I requested the crumb pics and feedback was very positive! Can't wait to make it again. Maybe as baguettes!

it it probably wise to get some commercial yeast in there to help it out. The results are awful good for a first SD at any rate. Well done and happy baking.
Think I might feed twice daily for a while to see if I can speed up potency. Might also try a non cold-retarded dough with it to see how that works out.
