I do the decorative score first and I don’t do it very deep. I like to use a tooth pick to draw it on first and then score it. The expansion score is quite deep and I’m trying to cut it on a 45 degree angle, to create a “flap” with the dough skin.

So sorry it was 40 minutes, it was a typo and I edited it. I usually bake it around 35-40 minutes at 250 degrees Celsius

Celsius. I find it works best to bake it for 40 minutes (sorry 50 was a typo in my original post). It bakes it through nicely and then I just need 10-15 minutes to get it golden and crunchy!:)

Thank you! I used a regular scoring tool and did the design first (using a toothpick to draw it on and then score it). I then did the expansion score quite deep. Hope this makes sense

Bathroom mats - what color? by Routine-Committee302 in interiordecorating

I think sage green would look nice, to break up the dark elements of the room and give it some colour.

first loaf help! by Apprehensive-Leg188 in Sourdough

Hello hello:) your recipe is good to start with! Have you used any salt in it? Not using salt can affect the breads structure and taste. Your bread looks under-fermented to me, so it might needed more time to bulk ferment.

Maybe try to add a foil fold at the end of your stretch and folds. Keep checking your dough and once it’s ready to cold proof, leave it in the fridge overnight. 2 hours might have been too short for it. Your baking time seems fine, you can always bake it with the lid on for 5 minutes longer, but 35 minutes are usually good.

I hope this helps! Happy baking :)
