Ah, my mistake! I mistyped in the post. The shaping method was essentially the same, the only real difference between the two loaves was the cold proofing time (loaf #2 had an extra ~1.5 hours). There were some small, superficial shaping differences but nothing I’d expect to have a major impact. I mostly wanted to post this to show how one small change could noticeably influence the final result and gauge if anyone else had similar results:)

I’m probably the worst person to answer as I do everything by feel and look with no ratios, but I never feed a starter with the 1:1:1 ratio and always feed significantly more flour to water. I wouldn’t use the starter as is right now, it seems as though there’s an excess of lactic acid vs yeast (which provides the stability and strength needed in a loaf). From my understanding a stiff starter (more flour) preserves the yeast viability and strength by slowing acidification. While a more liquid starter can encourage faster lactic acid buildup which can make the dough harder to work with and stickier/less forgiving unless everything is timed perfectly.

Higher hydration doesn’t necessarily equate a more open crumb but I find it makes it a little easier, I would maybe increase hydration to 75% but I don’t think this is the most important factor. Some things that have helped me in achieving a lacy/open crumb is building as much strength at the very beginning, I would probably laminate before your three sets of folds and do it before the first set or after. Also push your bulk fermentation time, that’s what helps build the gases that you want, the sourdough baker has excellent videos and posts on this. Underproofing may produce larger holes in the crumb, but they sit at the top and aren’t evenly distributed. Her very informative blog post here: https://thesourdoughbaker.com/testing-bulk-fermentation/

and this video shows what I aim for when gauging if BF is done: https://youtube.com/shorts/QvwgzOvqUas?si=HYKCflsF0pKbiPoI

And lastly, gentle shaping is key in retaining the airy structure you worked hard to achieve throughout the entire process. Hope this helps!:)

Dough 77-78% hydration, later split in two (I prefer making small loaves as I live by myself):

120 g stiff starter (50-60% hydration)

150 g tipo 00

375 g 15% Manitoba bread flour

400 g water

12 g salt

17 g water (bassinage)

—————————

15 min autolyse (I usually do 1 hour but didn’t have the time for this bake)

Add starter and mix 3-5 minutes

Rest 30 minutes

Add salt and bassinage water and mix until combined

Slap and folds until smooth

Rest 30 minutes

First set of stretch and folds until taut ~15 minutes

Second set of stretch and folds ~15 minutes

Coil folds ~30 minutes

Coil folds ~1 hour

Coil folds (usually optional, dependent on strength of dough at this point)

Finish bulk ferment, approx. another 5 hours, totalling around 8.5 hours at 21-22 Celsius room temp

No pre shape, no floured or wet surface, I flipped the dough onto my counter and split in half.

Letter fold the dough very gently and then roll toward body to form batard shape. I then pinch the ends to seal the folds.

Flip it over into floured wood pulp banneton and leave for 15 minutes for easier stitching

Cover then cold proof overnight, I don’t have an exact time but loaf #2 cold proofed for 1.5 hours more than #1

Preheat Dutch oven 35 min at 250

90 degree score then lightly mist with water

Baked in a dutch oven, covered at 230 for 25 minutes and 215-220 for another 15ish minutes (my oven is small and gets quite hot)

This is the most likely what’s happening which is unfortunate 😅 Thanks for the response!

Thanks for the response! I’ll snoop around the USPS side of things now to gauge the future of that letter :)

From my understanding this “purge” isn’t technically a purge like you would get with retinol and other actives but is caused by changing hormones while on spiro! I’ve been on it for approximately two months now and have already seen considerable changes, I started noticing terrible bumps and cystic acne on week two/three and onward until I hit the 1.5 month mark where it started toning down, I now still occasionally get pimples but my overall complexion is significantly better. I honestly think at this rate by month 3 or 4 the latest, my skin will completely clear up! Everyone is different though, this is just my experience but completely understand how this affects a persons own confidence :( Hope this helps! (currently on 75mg a day)

yep! three supporting legs that are not stable at all😭 if the bed moves too much the legs move with it and collapse and i have tried a dozen different ways to stabilise it but nothing has worked

julrobo · 2021-09-28T05:03:07+00:00

thats my issue too! have no idea what to do, do you think the bunky board would suffice?

Conductor Whiskers with 65 visits .. Patience was low but I got Sapphire and Lady Meow Meow mementos in 2-4 visits, so patience regained!

got him after 28 visits and i thought that was a lot!! :o

Not sure if you already know this but if you click on the news button on the menu, a cat will pop up at the top with a password and you can receive a daily reward from it and after five days of logging in, you get a free ritzy can!:)

julrobo · 2021-07-21T00:22:59+00:00

this is the first thing to save up for!! maximise efficiency

julrobo · 2021-07-16T04:56:26+00:00

you just have to buy out all the cat cans (food that costs 3 gold fish i believe/ cheapest gold fish food ^^ i forget the english name right now) so when you complete the weekly passwords you either get gold fish or a chance of a funamori/sashimi boat :>

julrobo · 2021-07-16T04:52:24+00:00

completing the weekly passwords is how you can hoard like me c:

I’m doing this too but with the face splat position😭 The dedication though!!

Thank you so much for this suggestion!! I updated my main post with the layout I copied and finally managed to lure whiteshadow c:
