Recipe 450g white bread flour 50g whole meal 110 starter 350g water 11g salt Autolyse for 1 hour, add salt and do 3 x stretch and folds 30-45mins apart. Bulk ferment for additional 5-6 hours (typically cold area) Cold proof for 16-48 hours (longer more flavour - didn't change my rise that much Before baking: freezer for 15 mins - gives a much cleaner score 250 degrees oven: 30 mins lid on, 6-8 off Freezer was a game changer. Instantly better rise first bake
