Any Home Bakers Here?

I baked no knead sourdough bread this morning. I started it yesterday at 10am and let it rise at 79F Until 7pm. I did stretch and fold pulls about 5 times but did not set a timer between stretches. I shaped into a ball and put it into a rice flour dusted banneton. It went into the fridge, wrapped in plastic wrap, until this morning at 6am when I heated up my Dutch oven to 450F and put the dough in and baked it for 25 minutes and then it was out of the Dutch oven and onto a cookie sheet for 5 minutes.

It had a very good oven spring!

To avoid heating up the house unnecessarily, Did my baking, and cooking outdoors.
Bread recipe calls for sourdough starter, as well as yeast. I don't have a starter going currently,, but still do like the sour hint of flavor:drool:drool:drool So,,, I used my cheese making byproduct (whey) instead of water.
Bread turned out DELISH:drool:drool:drool:drool:drool
Of course I did not wait until cool:gig:lau
Made in Dutch oven on top of refractory bricks inside grill.
Bread size.. 5 cups flour,, and 2 1/2 Cups liquid. I did sneak in about 4 TBS butter:yesss:

I baked for 30 minutes,, The interior temp was barely, 190°F,, so I took off the lid,, and baked an additional 10 minutes uncovered. Temp then was over 200°F
Crust did get more tanned, and crispy:highfive:

Grill has a convenient side burner,, Pan frying some mushrooms for an excellent brown beef gravy. That went over really well on top of smashed potatoes:old

I love eggplant. This is a recipe I like to use.
That might just make eggplant tolerable!
