This was my first sourdough bake after taking several months off so I’m glad it wasn’t a total disaster! The crumb is a bit dense but I honestly don’t mind that. I’d definitely recommend Ken Forkish’s book to anyone mildly interested in sourdough or artisan bread baking. It’s got a lot of background on the science of wheat and it does a great job detailing the techniques required to bake a great loaf or artisan bread.
