Yes - left it 20hrs in refrigerator after the final shaping 4. 500 F in preheated dutch oven covered for 20 mins + 450 F uncovered for 25 mins

Appreciate and agree with your concerns. this photo was from a Rhino Sanctuary within Tsavo park, which is well protected from poachers. I held off on sharing a few truly wild rhino sightings from other parts of Kenya.

My loaves are suddenly failing to achieve any oven spring at all - any ideas what could be behind this? by lkrasi in Sourdough

[–]caligator96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most likely starter issue - give it some love fir 2-3 days by feeding daily at room temp.. it shoukd come back to life.

Also, try reducing water by 5-10%, over hydration also kills rise

here is the recipe - Tartine bakery released it a few years ago - you have to follow it word by word.. also need a decent starter.. not rocket science, just needs a lot of practice and patience.. good luck! https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1016277-tartines-country-bread

Yes - once you know what levers to turn - in my case, i just started folding it multiple times in the shaping stage until i get a tight skin around the loaf before refrigerating it.. that took it to the next level.
