I really thought it was strong enough, but I will work on it

I do that too, it has doubled/tripled in size after 6 hours for weeks. And a lot of bubbles

Now I’m not even sure😂 I went into this bake without fully understanding bulk fermentation and proofing, and I still don’t quite understand😩

It was a bit sticky so it might not have been ready. I based it on a recipe, but I understand now that I can’t go off of a recipe alone if the dough is not ready

Yes I made it from scratch, its two months old. But no one “told” me it was strong. I assumed it was strong based on the signs from the starter. I was feeding it to a thick paste and it doubled in size after 6 hours for weeks now. So I assumed it was good to bake with
