    With Chad's @CBoukal subtle hint, I figured I'd start a sourdough thread. For pictures, recipes, help with starters, loaves, etc. Come one, come all.

    I bake mine at 450 for 35 minutes with the lid on, then 10 with the lid off until it's the color I want. I also temp the loaves and they should be over 200 when you pull them. If you're wanting it to be more sour, the longer you cold proof/leave in the fridge, the more soure they become...

    You're making sourdough? It really only needs to rise until it's risen at the most, 100%. Unless you're house is super cold, I let my loaf rise (after all the stretch/folds) until it's risen about 50% - 75%. If it rises too much (overproofs) it won't do well in the oven. I have a loaf that I...

    I usually grate it up, but it has to be frozen in order to do that. I fold 1/2 of it in on my 3rd stretch/fold and the remaining 1/2 on my last stretch/fold. If you haven't made sourdough with butter baked in, you're missing out.

    Baked a sourdough loaf yesterday morning. Added grated butter to it. Scoring could use work, but who cares.

    I've been making sourdough for about a year so far and love it. I started incorporating a stick of butter, in the stretch/folds and it's amazing. It's a cross between sourdough and croissant.
