First sourdough!
Crumb is light, cool, and creamy, just tighter than I’d like due to a combo of under-proofing, poor shaping, and issues loading the loaf onto the steel. I also need to work on my scoring technique.
The rolls could’ve used more heat at the start to get a darker crust.
Flavour is a very mildly tangy French-style lean bread.
Not my best, but given I’m rusty, a good start!
In the last two refreshments of the starter I added 25% rye flour and 1/4 tsp of unpasteurized apple cider vinegar to bring down the ph. I can’t tell if the yeast suddenly woke up or if the AAB are just going to town…
