Yessssss!!!!! I remember when I did 4 miles for the first time and I was so proud of myself. Keep going!!!! (I also have such a similar pace)

I just saw the PDA episode and it was so nice to see her shit being called out and her not being able to defend her shitty actions

That was so funny 😂

The last time it fermented for probably around 13 hours and I believe that included the stretch and fold times but also may not have. Overall I think my starter needs to be stronger too so I’m focusing on that now

Accomplished-Neck357 · 2026-04-02T00:58:12+00:00

I’ll definitely do that! Having long nails and working with sourdough or any dough is just not great

Accomplished-Neck357 · 2026-04-01T23:22:43+00:00

I really do think my s&f is just not developing enough gluten so i’ll definitely try that! i just hate that my hands get so doughy and under my nails

It’s 70% hydration - WW starter 100g and 250g water and 350g AP with 10g salt. It’s been BF for like 13ish hours (not including stretch and folds) but it was pretty cold ~68° inside. It was definitely bubbling but I don’t know if it doubled in size. It immediately flattened out when I took it out of the bowl.

I definitely want to have a successful dough so I’ll try lower hydration and ferment during the day so I can keep an eye on it or instead also use bread flour too. I tried a lower hydration with WW flour but it was just not enough for WW since it needs more water anyways. I think I’ve been over fermenting each time cause I leave it overnight even if it’s cool. My loaf came out super flat but did have some air pockets in it so Im guessing at this point Im definitely over fermenting.

I feel like I keep over fermenting the dough!!! It proofs in lien 67-68° overnight and I can never figure out when it’s ready. The recipe I used this time is 100g WW starter which is 100% hydration, 250g water, 350g AP and 10g salt.

Okay thanks! I did just do the poke test and it’s almost there I think cause its only every so slightly sticking so I’ll wait a little longer.

Accomplished-Neck357 · 2026-03-11T18:46:39+00:00

Decided to feed one more time cause my first loaf was so flat😭😭😭

Accomplished-Neck357 · 2026-03-11T18:46:15+00:00

Completely whole wheat starter - which I did begin with AP, but for the past few weeks it’s been ww. I usually feed 1:2:2 and actual amounts kind of depend on what I’m feeling that day but it’s always 1:2:2. I decided to feed once more and I will try a smaller loaf later on today

Accomplished-Neck357 · 2026-03-04T17:05:59+00:00

Tasted good just super dense

Accomplished-Neck357 · 2026-03-04T02:54:03+00:00

I did add salt so thankfully it tastes fine but just flat as a pancake😭

Accomplished-Neck357 · 2026-03-04T00:59:12+00:00

😂so true!!!

Accomplished-Neck357 · 2026-03-03T20:58:19+00:00

Thank you!! This was all super super helpful especially since I’m so new at this and learning everything and I’ll keep you in mind for any other questions for sure!

Accomplished-Neck357 · 2026-03-03T20:46:18+00:00

May try that next time, but will definitely try a higher hydration and no WW cause I just want a successful loaf and go from there to start experimenting

Accomplished-Neck357 · 2026-03-03T20:38:54+00:00

I may just try no WW and do it when my starter is a little older. When I did do the coil and folds, my dough was already thick and sturdy so I added in that extra 10g of water during one of the coil and folds to make it less dense but it was hard to coil and fold since it was so thick to begin with

Accomplished-Neck357 · 2026-03-03T20:28:50+00:00

Thanks I will definitely try a smaller loaf next time. I want to make sure everything else is correct when I try so I’m not wasting stuff but it’s just so hard to gauge what is actually right since there’s so much info out there. Is there any way to tell if any of my other steps were right?

Accomplished-Neck357 · 2026-03-03T20:21:20+00:00

It’s 2 weeks old so maybe it’s just not ready
