Sunday Bake - 2 Ways
70% hydration. Flour 50/50 blend of King Arthur bread and Kirkland organic all purpose. 20% starter. 2% salt. Proofed overnight in oval banneton. In morning, I sliced dough in half lengthwise and sealed cut to form two long slender batards. I misted one with water and rolled in everything bagel seasoning. Scored then baked on preheated baking stone covered with upside down hotel pan. Pre-heated at 500 F, lowered to 450 F for 15 minutes then removed hotel pan, lowered to 425 F and baked uncovered for another 20 minutes. First time attempting this method. Reshaping and resealing seam after cutting dough was a bit tricky. Next time I'd lower hydration a bit or use straight KA flour with higher protein. And the everything bagel season is SALTY! I should have checked that lol.

Low starter recipe
Finally back from vacation and got my starter out from the fridge 3 days before this bake. It doubled in size in 4 hours day of with a stiffer feed. For this loaf, I did 75g starter, 350g water, 500g bread flour, 10g salt. I mixed my starter, water, and flour first and let it rest for an hour before mixing in my salt. I also let that rest for an hour before doing 2 sets of stretch and folds and 1 set of coil folds. I let it bulk ferment for about 6 hours total at around 74 degrees. I did shaping, let it rest, final shaping, and threw into banneton for overnight cold proof. Baked at 475 for 25 minutes lid on and 15 minutes at 450 lid off. I waited an hour and a half before cutting into it. This is one of my highest rising loaves yet but I can’t seem to get rid of the big holes, I’m going for a tighter crumb. Thank you!

Classic Reboot
Pics from loaves made exactly as stated in the reboot recipe. Not sure what the BreadScore will be but it is one of the tastiest loaves I have made.

Batard
My go-to recipe, but reduced the measurements to better fit my batard bannetons and increased the hydration a bit. Super happy with how it turned out! 60% BSM Butler’s Gold 00 20% All-purpose 15% Spelt, milled fresh 80% hydration

Please complete an analysis for me. I uploaded an interior and exterior photo (I know you said I could do three, but I only took two). Here's the info you asked me to provide: Bake Name: French Miche Details: 85% high extraction wheat flour, 15% dark rye flour. I added hot-soaked sifted bran (about 2% of flour weight) as well. I used a liquid starter (20% of flour weight). Thanks!
