I use a lodge D.O. upside-down. Lid as the bottom. I use Central Mills organic AP flour. I get 20lbs at Costco at a time.Man, that is one beautiful loaf of bread! Love that golden color.
I've only recently gotten into sourdough and it fascinates me.
What kind of flour do you use for the starter? I'm assuming you use a dutch oven because of the "lift strips". Do you use the lid on the D.O.
during part of the cook? Baking temps? LOL, I could go on! I would love to see your recipe....
