First proper loaf- advice please 😊
Hi there, so this is my first "proper loaf". The taste is great but I feel like it's slightly underfermented. Any tips are appreciated!
500g wheat flour
120g rye starter (active and about 4 weeks old)
290g water
12g salt
Mixed it all together with a hand mixer until well combined. Added the salt after 30 minutes.
I did 3 sets of stretch and folds and 2 sets of coil folds each about 30-40 minutes apart.
Let it sit for another 3 hours so bulk fermentation was about 6-7 hours in total.
Shaped it and cold proofed for 4 hours.
Baked (without dutch oven) at 250°C for 15 minutes with steam and then another 25 minutes at 220°C without steam.
My kitchen is at around 22°C so maybe on the colder side?
Any advice to get more rise and an open crumb appreciated!
