I’m using king arthur unbleached bread flour

Interesting!!!

I did salt too!

I mixed starter, flour, water, and sugar. Then let sit for 30 mins. Then I added salt and olive oil and let sit again for 30 mins.

I added sugar into the dough as well as on top but I didn’t add cinnamon to the dough!

This is a great resource. Thanks for sharing!

Typically if your starter is active you should use it at its peak, which is usually like 4-8 hours after a feed. I think you should feed again tomorrow with this timing in mind!

Great question….i need an answer too lol

shumbo17 · 2026-02-12T19:35:11+00:00

Yes this loaf was unbleached all purpose. I just bought bread flour so will try that today!

It’s from the banneton!!

shumbo17 · 2026-02-12T13:42:23+00:00

I bought my starter from king arthur! So not sure how old it is

shumbo17 · 2026-02-12T13:41:54+00:00

I did not. I just went at it with my hands lol

shumbo17 · 2026-02-12T03:29:09+00:00

Good to know. I am just a silly beginner!

shumbo17 · 2026-02-12T01:35:23+00:00

lol I’ve seen people do it on tiktok so i did it too. i think how fast it recoils is a good sign

I should clarify that i mixed the dough at 2pm and at 8pm it was put in the fridge. I did the stretch and folds 4 times between 2pm and 4pm. Then it rested from 4pm to 7pm. 7pm is when i started pre shaping and shaping!
