You can’t really ruin sourdough imo :slight_smile:

Ah yeah, I forgot about the shaping before it goes in the fridge. So after the couple of hours turn it out onto a floured surface and with floured hands shape* into the desired shape and put into a floured basket or bowl with tea towel for it to go in the fridge.

In the morning, turn it out, slash it and bake straight from the fridge

* this is a huge topic

You can always do a little tidying with floured hands before slashing if it slops out

Ta-dah! I’m pretty pleased with that. It tastes good; nice crunchy chewy crust and soft inside.

Your first loaf? Bloody hell. Looks like something from Gails.

I’m going to have another go.

I might have chosen the wrong time to get into this. Is there flour anywhere?

I can’t get bread flour but Tesco and Asda have plain flour.
