Third time’s the charm! I think I figured it out, I was adding too much water which made the dough too sticky to shape properly and fall flat. Switched from 375g water to 300g and I was finally able to get that smooth surface and tight round dough ball.

Yesterday’s 2nd attempt

Today’s 3rd which is about 3in taller than the previous one.

Now I need to figure out what to do with all this bread! I also made sourdough pancakes and I don’t think I’ll ever need to buy pancake mix again. Next time I want to try cinnamon rolls.

Cut into cubes and make croutons, or just freeze them for later.

@ronott1,

Check out what I received for my birthday! I think my family wants more sourdough bread.

I also received a chef hat.

Have you decided on the culinary school?

I’m still thinking about it, but I’m leaning towards it.
