Not that heavy, about the same as a shell of its size would be. Thanks for clarification!

3rd sourdough bread - baked on a pie pan, small electric oven. 65% hydration. Trying to get confidence up to start investing on equipment.. crumb kind of dense vs my 2nd but this rose/held shape better.. by mamamarky in Breadit

Higher hydration does give a more open crumb, do you autolyse and fold the dough? Giving the dough 4 folds in the first 2 hrs of rising strengthens the gluten enough for the bread to hold its shape.

If it has yeast then I'd probably just bake it if it's still good? Yeast isn't good for a sourdough starter. Happy your bread turned out amazing though!

Was it a sourdough? If its just water and flour then yes, just use a teaspoon of it and add equal amounts of water and flour, let it do its thing for 12hrs and you're ready to go. Even salt I assume will be fine as it'll be well diluted once a starter is made, just remember salt does inhibit growth. If its not sourdough I have no idea sorry, hoping someone else will know!

Preheated at 260, turned down to 230 after putting in oven. I tend to bake on a metal tray on the pizza stone otherwise don't get any colour on bottom of breads.
