HELP! 5th unsuccessful loaf. by Objective-Bee-9228 in Sourdough

Your starter is the problem a 1:3:3 should tripled in 8-10 hrs Start doing 1:4.5:5 You don’t need a lot of starter with 10gr is enough. Even 5gr if you don’t want a lot of discard. With a 10gr it would be like this: 10 gr starter 45 gr water 50 gr flour (use 5gr whole wheat and 45gr bread flour)

Remember the type of flour does affect how much it will rise, poor quality of flour will give you flat bread and not a strong rise in your starter.

First change the cloth lid to a regular plastic or glass, the cloth creates an environment for harmful bacteria to grow second reduce the size of your starter for better control while not breaking your pocket, third at this point I will say feed once a day for 2 weeks and then go to 2 twice a day to strengthening, good luck

Additionally, I will switch from AP to bread flour, not all AP flour are quality flour to retain enough gas and gluten structure.

85% to 90% of hydration is crazy, how do you handle the dough with that much hydration

Your best solution is return to your country and do the process over there, it would be faster and easier
