One of the things I wanted to do was improve on my bread and achieve a great oven spring. So I’m going to bake as often as I can to do so. This week, I decided to follow the book in hopes that I could improve on my bakes and read the directions carefully and find what I’ve missed. I tend to rush through recipes and I always miss crucial steps. I know my starter is active and the more I bake and feed Colin, the tastier it gets. I’m not going to go into detail the steps so here are some pictures to document my journey.

All 24 hours worth of work only to achieve a loaf that is almost flat as a pancake. I’m pretty sure I under/over proofed (I think more under). I just get so anxious and I start so late in the day. I honestly don’t know how strong it should be or what I’m supposed to be feeling. I guess we’ll have to try again this coming weekend!
Just because it didn’t turn out the way I wanted it to in the end.. I had another plan for the loaf:
