There are loads of recipes on sourdough.

Didnt know that making bread was enjoyable and easy. It just takes some practice and time.

I'm still pretty much a noob to this.
I did find one that i really like (besides the poolish)

Here is what i'm using for this SG Boule.

Measure out 500g of the flour in separate bowl.

50g of my mature starter. Zero the scale

Add 350g filtered water.

Loosly mix the starter and water.

Add to the starter/water the 500g flour and 4g salt.
I use a spoon until it gets to stiff to stir then i glove up and mix and rotate.

Not very organized but it will come together.

Dang Rick, your turning into a baker, instead of a sausage maker!
I guess when your the best sausage maker around, it’s time to conquer something else. It took Judy years to perfect her sourdough recipes, but she is a real pro now!! I think you will be too!

Thanks everyone.

Boule came out of the banneton pretty good. I made a few scores on it.

Finish off to crisp up some

Cool for 1.5 hours. If you cut it while hot it could release steam and make the middle mushy

Cut end off.
