yes, that's a fine looking loaf.
Paging KQ and other bakers. Just about to put my dough into the fridge (used King Arthur’s Tangy Sourdough recipe) and I realized I added all 5 cups of flour right away rather than 3 now and 2 tomorrow. So do I add more water now, then more flour tomorrow or just let it go as is? Thinking I should add another 150 grams water now then another 3 cups flour tomorrow. Or do I let it go and just let it rise tomorrow?
KQ, I've not used either of those products that you reference but I'd get the cloche. The reason being that I hate trying to score a ball of dough with a lame inside my eci pot. The cloche would allow you to easily score the dough before putting the lid on.
On a different note, I feel like I'm finally getting the knack for a consistent sourdough loaf. I've landed on a recipe that's 25% WW and 75% AP, and fairly high hydration.

You need a lame!

Black Walnut Lame
Maybe Santa will bring you one? ;)
I have one of those cheap lame blades that is a plastic handle with a double side razor blade on it.
You could just use a single sided razor blade as long as you promise not to run wild thru the house with it.
Hmm, I just use a sharp knife.
I have two batches going one plain sourdough, the other rosemary and lemon. I steeped rosemary and lemon peel in the water that I used to make the dough. Hopefully that adds enough flavor.

maybe you’d like some broken glass in your bread
bummer
look at that beast
it’s ready to crawl across the floor
ok so I smashed one of my two jars
I still have starter
is there a better system?
The Beast lives
Despite the water being very aromatic the bread only had a hint of rosemary and lemon. Some people could tell and others couldn’t when I asked them (they didn’t know). I used about the amount of rosemary you’d get in a container at the grocery store and the zest from 2 small lemons in the water. I’m going to try to double that and see how it goes.
Also, when I messed up and added all the flour initially and didn’t realize it until the dough had risen and was ready for the fridge I mixed in extra water and let it rise in the fridge. I couldn’t tell any negative effects from it. I didn’t contact King Arthur for advice but it seems to have worked out.
