This is the 1200 gram boule . Don't have picture of the process but here she is. My knife skill is not great here but you get the picture. Tomorrow the small loaf.

Scoring Miche Video
Here's a short example video of me scoring the 1,800 gram Miche early this morning. If anyone wants to try this, maybe you'll get that last score more parallel than I did šŸ˜‚

Sourdough Starter Help Needed
Hi everyone, I’m determined to create my own starter, but have failed (so many times😢) in the past! Can you give me advice on an easy recipe and how to be successful at the task? Thanks everyone!

I started with a gifted starter that was well established. I learned though that it needs good food to remain healthy & strong. I always give it a 1/2 t or so of pumpernickel or rye when I feed. I also put mine in the fridge for a week at a time bringing it out about 24 hrs to beef it up when baking. Hope this helps…

@Ziena Walker absolutely! I had such gut and joint issues after cancer treatment. That’s when I started my sourdough journey. It has bad such an improvement in both areas for me. Much less inflammation. I also make kombucha & yogurt…
