@Colleen Vergara That is the way that I cook a lot of things, I never make less than 10 pounds of meat into meatballs. It only takes a few extra hours and we eat meatballs several times, instead of once. And they are good on a pizza
Feedback Needed!
This pain au levain didn’t turn out the best so while I know it’s not going to be a high score 😞 these are the loaves that benefit most from the BreadScore feedback! I’m happy with the oven spring but am wondering if it’s under proofed (I think slightly) or also just a shaping issue?

@Colleen Vergara Excellent!
Question cause I do not remember the answer.
Making pizza dough for Detroit style pizza. Think Sicilian pizza dough, and the recipe I use is make it in one day. I made the dough tonight and letting it bulk ferment. Do I let it go to double then put in fridge or just to a percentage and put in fridge? I can't remember the rule. Old age can suck!

I’ve never made a Detroit style, but have read recipes. I am very excited to see this one!
Three loaves baked this morning
These are two plain sourdough and a Pane Siciliano with black sesame seeds subbed for the white. I used a coarse durum wheat that I already had, I threw it into the Vitamix and blended to a fine consistency

Sharing sourdough baking with friends
My neighbor and I have talked about getting together to teach each other our passion projects for over a year now. Well, today was the day. She and her sister joined me in my baking studio for an afternoon of sourdough baking. We used a very basic recipe and practiced shaping, scoring & baking a sourdough loaf. In between the process we mixed up a new batch and talked about fermentation. They took dough home in buckets to bake with tomorrow, a few borrowed tools, instructions and their freshly baked loaves from today. It was a sweet, rewarding afternoon and they were both so pleased with themselves! Kudos to @Henry Hunter from Crust & Crumb Academy for the great beginner recipe!

So glad to be here. I have been baking yeasted breads my whole life, but am very new to sourdough, and loving it and this group!
