Check out the new recipe collection available in the Classroom tab! Look for Field-Tested Sourdough Recipes. I've added 5 beginner recipes that have stood the test of time and are well-reviewed. I'll add the 5 advanced ones tomorrow. Take a look, and give one a try! And please let us know how it goes. I also added a Recipes category to the Community page where anyone is welcome to post a favorite recipe or link. Let's build up a great collection!

Am now obsessed with baking and anticipate weighing 500 lbs soon. Here are loaves 5 through 8, with #7 being my first sandwich loaf (exterior of loaf #6 not pictured). I’m still trying to get a handle on proofing and had my first experience w/overproofing recently (unshapeable blob). I feel like I’m seeing a lot of “fools crumb” in my bakes and welcome input on how to improve that. The lighter colored loaves were made using a dehydrated/established starter while the darker loaves were made w/my homemade starter and contain some wheat. I’ve been experimenting with different hydration levels and baking temperatures.
