my first sourdough loaf! I messed up the scoring and I don’t think my starter was quite ready but still tastes good

I like baking /goodbread and building apps on web3 protocols. DevRel @ ENS Labs. gregskril.com

Nice first loaf @greg what makes you think starter was not ready?

Thanks! My understanding is that if the starter was a bit more mature the dough would rise more and it’d turn out more airy inside but my line of thinking there could be wrong

thanks! my first score wasn't very deep, so a little into baking I did another set of deeper cuts hence the kinda 2 sets of crosses

I think if I just went deeper on the first round I'd have a more pronounced ear. at least that's what I'm planning to try next time 😅

that’s a very nice crumb for a first loaf! I think you got really decent rise. not as much of an “ear” on the score as I’d expect for such a nice rise…
did you bake it in a dutch oven? if not, did you use steam?

ah yea good point, I'm in NYC so it's pretty cold. will try longer next time, ty!

You could also need more time on the bulk fermentation stage. Is it colder there right now? It's freezing here and I don't have a proofing oven so it takes much longer to fully develop. Had the exact same problem on my last batch.

Yes it definitely will, a rule of thumb for testing is if it floats in water before you go to mix. If you have any questions regarding feeding/recipe/procedure just shoot me a dm and possibly I can help.
