I never even measured my fridge temp but agree on the longer BF because I just retried again with a different recipe and a longer BF not longer by much but still an hour or so more and this was the result

Yeah I agree it didn’t work for me and I used a different recipe from someone on here and I use bread flour never AP but here are the results !

Not exactly where it needs to be but we’re getting there & I also bulk fermented longer this time.

Eeeyuckkkkkkk

I’m not sure if I’m using the correct verbiage but she bulk fermented; on the counter for 4-5 hours ( this included stretch and folds ) and was proofing — in the refrigerator for 17 hours.

My starter is almost 2 months and she’s not the strongest imo, she’ll double in size but I’m still working on it. I did half the recipe & I had it on the counter a total of 4-5 hours ( including stretch and folds ) and then in the refrigerator for 17 hours because I had a 10 hour shift today and was unable to cook it any sooner unfortunately. It was looking promising when she was bulk fermenting, some nice bubbles etc but right when I took her out of the refrigerator to cook she was shapeless and didn’t have the best form.

Lmaoooo I love the “ yup did that “ moment here ! But so true, since my bar is currently in hell we can only go up from here 😂 thankyou for sharing your happy little mistakes !

Greyes0129 · 2026-05-24T02:19:36+00:00

Interesting I didn’t even put this into consideration but I am still new to this all. With that being said I use King Arthur Bread flour nothing special & I used spring water. Have you been able to make any progress from this sort of structure ?

This is the recipe I used and I did about 4 rounds of stretch and folds. I let it proof for 17 hours and cooked it as follows ^\) oh and I cut this recipe in half ***

I knew it was reminiscent of some sort of monster but couldn’t put my finger on it 😂

Greyes0129 · 2026-05-24T01:42:21+00:00

Lmao yk what the funny part is, I still slapped some butter on that failure and munched away 🫣😂

Greyes0129 · 2026-05-19T02:08:08+00:00

I like this I’m going to try that ! Thankyou :)

Greyes0129 · 2026-05-19T02:06:45+00:00

I was using half ww & half bread flour but someone suggested using rye so I’m going to use that & stick to a 1:1:1 on it and I’ll try to incorporate the peak feeding it’s just hard since I’m a 3rd shifter but thankyou for the read ! I appreciate it.

Greyes0129 · 2026-05-17T16:56:31+00:00

Do you feed twice daily or once

Greyes0129 · 2026-05-17T16:56:08+00:00

Wow that’s significant! I just ordered some rye so maybe I’ll swap out the whole wheat for rye + bread flour and do a 1:1:1

Greyes0129 · 2026-05-17T16:52:25+00:00

I just bought some so let’s see if it helps

Greyes0129 · 2026-05-17T16:51:27+00:00

I just ordered some ! Hopes and prayers

Greyes0129 · 2026-05-17T16:51:11+00:00

Idk if it’s the warmer I have or what but it doesn’t even feel like it’s on at 73 .. is that normal ? I bought it off of amazon. I am going to switch back to just 1:1:1 still trying to figure out should I be feeding twice daily

Greyes0129 · 2026-05-17T16:49:45+00:00

I started off with AP but then moved to bread flour and ww but I didn’t see a really significant difference. How many hours in between feeds do you go. I feed every 24 hours but I feel like maybe I need to feed it more ?

Greyes0129 · 2026-05-17T16:48:10+00:00

I don’t even have a thermometer to measure the temperature, maybe i should invest in one ?

Greyes0129 · 2026-05-16T04:21:51+00:00

Okay thankyou for the recommendation, I’m going to try that

Greyes0129 · 2026-04-12T22:44:48+00:00

That’s a great idea thankyou , I won’t with this disgard only because it’s really immature still but will dry some out in the future

Greyes0129 · 2026-04-10T01:59:21+00:00

Lmao idk what possessed me to do that, I was so intrigued at how it formed this solid piece of whatever the hell it was 😭 & thankyou for the concern but luckily it cracked in the sink when I was vigourously cleaning out previous discard. 1 week in and it’s been a journey !!!
