He looks great - so excited to see him play. I know it’s pretty doom and gloom right now but giving him some good energy before his first game as starter couldn’t hurt!
My husband was screaming “WE BELIEVE IN YOU DYLAN” the whole warm up haha
I feel like I see so many people trying to create their own starter from scratch when there are so many incredible starters that can be purchased. I literally borrowed a starter from my neighbor and then later bought one on Amazon and it’s the best starter I’ve ever had (Living Dough on Amazon for anyone interested). I have no interest in making my own when I just want to get to baking.
I’ve got my process down pat at this point and it really has more to do with getting my starter active than anything else.
Recipe:
375g AP bread flour
150g sunrise mills red wheat flour
130g starter
335g water
11g salt
Combine all ingredients, sit shaggy for 30 minutes (autolyse? Fermentolyse? Whatever), 3 sets of stretch and folds, bulk ferment in the oven with the light on for 6 hours (grabbed it and tossed it in the fridge at 3 am, started it late), shaped it and put it in the fridge for a day and a half, pulled it out, scored and baked at 450 for 30 covered/20 uncovered.
