That’s looks perfect
Stiff starter loaf
First time trying a stiff starter also maybe my 6th or 7th loaf. Having a hard time getting the bulk fermentation correct and my scoring. It’s over proofed but it tastes good lol. I’m going to keep trying.

Once the FYW is made do I use it to make a starter or add it directly to the dough mixture?

Heads up, I’ve got something coming that might ruffle a few feathers. Stay with me on this one.
Bulk fermentation does not happen in the refrigerator. I’ll say it again for the folks in the back. What you’re doing when you put your dough in the fridge overnight is a cold retard. That’s not the same thing as bulk fermentation. Two different stages, two different jobs, two very different outcomes. Most bakers have been told these are interchangeable. They’re not. And once you understand the difference, your bread changes. I’m putting the full piece together now. Watch for it. ~ Henry ⭐πŸ”₯

I have seen this method before but never tried it. Do you need a certain size jar for the tester?
