A nice loaf is avoiding me.

Pics of today’s attempt (for the upteenth time) to make an acceptable sourdough loaf.

I used Henry’s Foolproof recipe this time. Began process last night, carried my timer around all day for accuracy. Ingredients were measured in grams. Levain looked perfect. Temp hit the mark. My ingredients are all fresh.

Folks, I am missing something with a regular loaf of sourdough. To date I havent had one loaf that had a nice rise with a pretty ear and browned crust. It hasnt been cut open yet but it just looks unfinished. My oven temps are on the mark. It was even cooked a few minutes more, Hoping magic would happen.

Suggestions would be appreciated and I will try again.
