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

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?

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 😅
