That’s awesome hehe! I’m a weird old Seinfeld fanatic. Like, I own every episode in boxed sets, but will still watch it whenever it’s on TV.
That’s some early work from James Hong. He’s a great actor, but so underrated.

Here’s the recipe I’m using.
150g of starter.
20g olive oil
10g salt
250g water
500g bread flour
Let proof for 3 to 5 hours. Then fold and let proof for 2 hours.
Bake 20 min in Dutch oven with lid on.
Continue baking in Dutch oven for 40 min no lid.
Option egg wash. Mix egg and teaspoon of milk. Then coat dough before baking.
Add water to a heat safe pan or silicone cup. And steam for the latter 40 min with lid off. ( helps crust tremendously. ) egg wash( helps color of crust ) Edit 400°
Edit again* this is all done at roughly 60° room temp.

Been practicing this. It’s turning out very well. Really helps. Also mixing when start is at the top or so of its rise is helping immensely. I love this sourdough bread. I recently got my starter from pre covid. And have it going alongside my 2023 start. Some people name them and what not as it’s I guess a living organism or something. Mine has since been named stygian penal colony. Specifically from the hades universe.

Edit that’s this years.
Idk or remember when and will dig to find. The start of the covid start. It’s named north shore 19 Sour dough. June 15th 2020.

This thread delivers. I’m going to try my hand at it
I’m in Mexico at the moment and plan on smuggling back some yogurt cultures family have had and passed around for more than 16 years now. We had some we brought back home a few years ago but neglected after about a year.
