This one is not as pretty. In fact, you could call it a failed loaf. But, it’s my first levain, so I learned a lot in that process.
Yesterday was a crazy day. Timing on the bulk ferment was off and I had to cut the proof short. I also missed a couple of folds. So, I ended up with a very dense loaf that’s a bit under cooked.
On top of that, I was pressed for time when baking and did both at the same time.
Pluses, flavor was really nice, far more than the straight doughs that I’ve been doing. Also got to try out my new bread knife. Going to make a big pan of strata and try again next weekend!
