I gave it a long time to do its thing because it didn’t seem to be rising very quickly. The bread was actually pretty good and sourness was very mild. That’s how I prefer it anyways.
Next time I want to use some whole wheat or rye flour and also use a recipe with more starter so that it will rise faster.
How does the crumb look?
