Behold the glory! My best effort to date.

Convert photo worked on the first picture but not this one:

I stirred the hooch back in to the starter to make it more sour.

Delicious!

Here’s what I baked it in. I was using our enameled Dutch oven but baking bread in it discolored it.

A cast iron pot of uncertain provenance. No markings. It belonged to my Mom my sister gave me hell when she saw it in the basement in the sorry state I’d left it in. Mom probably got it at a thrift store somewhere, and used it to cook on campfires.

I cleaned it up, re-seasoned it, and sent a picture to my sister. It worked great and the smaller size made the loaf a nicer shape IMHO.

Mom would be proud.

Pro-tip:

There’s a reason why a lot of YouTubers season their pans on an outdoor grill. I set off the smoke detectors.

First time I’ve ever heard Sam howl.

I had to stop reading this thread because I love sourdough and we can buy something called sourdough here in New England...but it isn't.

Looks great!

Loaf 7 in the series. Cold proofed longer than the others because I got busy. Larger than the others. Can’t wait!

By George, I think he's got it!!

I fed my starter a couple of days ago. It was nearish to the top of the jar I store it in but I didn't think it would be a problem. Opened the refrigerator door yesterday to an overflow situation. Thank god for glass refrigerator shelves. I mixed a batch of dough and baked today. Those yeasties were particularly active; I ended up with a larger than usual loaf.

I think we're having BLTs for lunch today.
