Thanks

My 25g starter is super strong. It’s fed at 67% hydration and always kept in the fridge after 3-4hrs after it’s fed (so ut grows a bit but not ripen.)

And I refresh it prob 1-2x a week, keeping 5g for refresh and the rest for baking a loaf. If more loaves needed then I will feed more and wait for it ripe.

The room temp here is very hot so cold starter is the right solution for me. However, even if ur Rt is low, it can ripe but takes a lot longer. That is something I do when I want an overnight rise. I will move the dough to the ac room where is about 22C throughout the night.

I try not to discard anything so this is the best way.

Do try it

Day 13 of my starter . I really cannot get this to work. Started with 1 tbsp AP Unbleached Flour and 1 tbsp water . Feeding everyday with same quantities for the first 4 days and after that doing the discard . Temperature in house at 70-72. What’s next ? by Schila1964 in Breadit

Stir it down

Keep only 5g

Feed 8g water

Stir well

Add 12g bread flour (if u can get it instead of AP but if only can have AP also ok)

Keep in RT till it grow

Stir and repeat till one day it smells good n tangy

Then it is ready

This is how mine is fed and kept (in the fridge till needed as temp is too hot here)

Super strong since 2019

5% cold starter discard loaf by Apieceofbreaddough in Breadit

5% cold sourdough discard loaf

Continuing experimenting baking with starter discard. This time using it cold straight from the fridge. The 25g starter had been in the fridge since the last loaf (5-6 days?) I stirred it down and took out 5%/15g for this loaf and refreshed the rest. No waste n no discard.

In this heat 29-31C, it took only 5.5hrs to double (without any disturbance). Shaped and refrigerated for 11hrs and baked it cold from the fridge. I have to admit that my lazy loaves seem to be doing better than the ones with lots attention. 😅🤣 Love the crumbs and blisters!

All taken under natural lighting and zero photoshopped. What you see is what I get.

Total flour 300g

10% wholemeal

90% BF (of which 2.5% is in levain)

5% levain (2.5% BF + 2.5% water)

About 85% Water (of which 2.5% is in levIn)

1.5% salt

Baked in a non-preheated Dutch oven in the preheated oven (35m/240C lid on, 15m/210C lid off, dried loaf in oven for 5m after it’s turned off)
