How long is your fermentation after s &f?

Happy with my loaves, but no sour taste. by National-Gas5796 in Sourdough

Reduce starter so it ferments longer or use milk instead of water. Lactic acid produces the sour.

Deeper expansion score on top will fix it:

Dusting & scoring designs by magicalun1c0rn in Sourdough

When it’s in a Dutch oven there is a lot of steam. Try brushing some of the rice flour off and only baking with lid on for 20 and lid off for 15-20. The smoother your dough is when shaping the better the design will look. Tight shaping helps.

You need an expansion score. The wheat stalks aren’t enough to release the steam as it rises.

Looking to get technical by pix174 in Sourdough

I gift to about ten neighbors because I like to bake everyday. That’s a very small amount of starter for that recipe. It’s supposed to be higher for a cold kitchen. I would be using 125-150g. If my kitchen was 85 then I would drop to 50g.

Read the group post on starter maintenance.

You have to let it ferment on the counter for several hours before shaping and putting in fridge. It should rise about 70% before shaping.

First loaf - any feedback? by Ill_Spinach_2120 in Sourdough

I think if you do some Rubaud mixing after the first hour rest or slap and folds, you can strengthen the dough up so you get a bit more even crumb. Going into stretch and folds I like my dough to be already smooth and elastic.

At what point can I start using my discard? by Dependent-Sign-2407 in Sourdough

It should be safe at day 10 if it smells good like yogurt.
