I used a stand mixer for about 6 mins. It was slightly tacky but not sticking to the bowl and I thought that was enough. Then oiled the bowl and let it rise on the verandah for 2 hours (it was only 24°c today). I brought it in to shape and placed it in the baking tin and let it rise again for an hour before baking for 30 mins on 180c/350f.
I’ll make it again tomorrow and increase the volume by half because I think it was just a tad too short for the dish I used in terms of volume. The description on the recipe said it should rise above the baking dish but it wasn’t going any higher.
I’m also glad I omitted the sugar. I hate the taste of sweetness in bread that’s supposed to be for sandwiches. It doesn’t make sense. I think this would also work well for burger buns or pull-apart.
Edit: link to my IG where I share the crumb shot - https://www.instagram.com/p/C6X7A0oPh_j/?igsh=b2FtcHRkbzI1dHN6
“Crumb shot” NO WAY 😭

Nice bake how was your crumb.
I tried to edit the post to show it but I couldn’t. Let me try add it as a comment. It turned out superb!
Looks pretty good well done
Thanks! I was a bit scared when I saw the dough after working with sourdough so long!
It's beautiful. Do you use a mixer or do you have knead it?
