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. Itโ€™s over proofed but it tastes good lol. Iโ€™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, Iโ€™ve got something coming that might ruffle a few feathers. Stay with me on this one.
Bulk fermentation does not happen in the refrigerator. Iโ€™ll say it again for the folks in the back. What youโ€™re doing when you put your dough in the fridge overnight is a cold retard. Thatโ€™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. Theyโ€™re not. And once you understand the difference, your bread changes. Iโ€™m putting the full piece together now. Watch for it. ~ Henry โญ๐Ÿ”ฅ

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