Type | Overnight White all-purpose flour |
Bulk Ferment time | 11 hours |
Proof time | 50 minutes |
Notes |
Divided into two loaves. The first loaf is deliberately blonde with a thin crust so it's suitable for toast without getting too hard. It's good. The second remained longer in the dutch oven with the lid off to create a harder (and tastier) crust, mainly because I planned to store for a few days before eating which softens the crust.
First loaf is really light. Second load is long over-proofed and dense.
