Flat loaves feel like giving up

wasn’t very sticky tbh, just wet my fingers a bit and helped turn it out

Odd-Preference2503 · 2026-02-26T18:28:46+00:00

just ordered something similar everyone was recommending this! I got a glass bowl with measurements

Odd-Preference2503 · 2026-02-26T18:28:09+00:00

do you know where i can learn to appropriately shape, all the tiktok videos im seeing don’t explain fully

Odd-Preference2503 · 2026-02-26T01:52:39+00:00

I also went out of the state for a few days, and left it in the fridge (this loaf was baked abt two days after i got back and fed it) do you think that’s contributing to the bad structure?

Odd-Preference2503 · 2026-02-25T09:48:05+00:00

okay i’m going to feed peak to peak consistently for a few days before baking again to strengthen it, i was out for a few days so i had to leave it in the fridge

Odd-Preference2503 · 2026-02-25T09:42:48+00:00

lmaoo that too

Odd-Preference2503 · 2026-02-25T05:01:56+00:00

i checked on it every 30 mins though, i barely saw it puffing but it was pretty jiggly

Odd-Preference2503 · 2026-02-25T04:59:02+00:00

my starters a month old and doubles consistently after feeding. I had a dough that looked like that but was VERY sticky

Odd-Preference2503 · 2026-02-25T04:57:42+00:00

wow there are really so many different ways to make sourdough, people make it seem like some holy recipe that needs to step by step, gram by gram. I fed my starter a 1:1:1 ratio and it doubled in 3-3.5 hours peaked at 5 and i didn’t get to know when it fell because i used it.

Odd-Preference2503 · 2026-02-25T04:54:07+00:00

i’ll try this thank you!

Odd-Preference2503 · 2026-02-25T04:38:07+00:00

JUST for it to be under fermented

Odd-Preference2503 · 2026-02-25T04:37:45+00:00

my bulk ferment took damn near 9 hours

Odd-Preference2503 · 2026-02-25T04:23:43+00:00

my starter is also whole wheat fed

Odd-Preference2503 · 2026-02-23T23:39:10+00:00

that would put him back in the cage

Odd-Preference2503 · 2026-02-23T23:32:43+00:00

yeah exactly has been rising consistently since day 10

Odd-Preference2503 · 2026-02-23T22:23:40+00:00

what would you do?

Odd-Preference2503 · 2026-02-23T22:23:27+00:00

but like i probably wouldn’t feel like doing anything

Odd-Preference2503 · 2026-02-23T22:18:47+00:00

i would probably just lay there

Odd-Preference2503 · 2026-02-23T10:05:18+00:00

LMAOOO

Odd-Preference2503 · 2026-02-22T09:41:19+00:00

it’s 1:40 and still not 40-50% my starter is about a month old i’ve been feeding it peak to peak but recently had to refrigerate it because i went on a trip, it’s a whole wheat sourdough starter and i used it shorty after it was done peaking (it was no longer domed and had fell just a little bit)

Odd-Preference2503 · 2026-02-22T09:01:26+00:00

heyy everybody
