    Thank you for the feedback. What a coincidence, I am busy and forgetful, too :)

    I mostly follow the instructions of the friend who got me into it, slightly developed to my liking.

    That’s an interesting paradigm - so you only mix it with the spoon, no kneading?

    Perhaps the thing that annoys me is bakes I see have a somewhat nicer structure. Mine is not too bad (anymore; stopped buying bread a couple of years ago), but there’s a little extra “inflating” effect in others’. As I see it, it should be mostly due to the sourdough being weaker, and sometimes messing proving time. There are moments when I’m rushed and can’t wait any longer.

    Forgot to mention, I keep my sourdough in the fridge the whole time. It gets in the way in the kitchen otherwise.

    Hm so my loaves go dry in about 4-5 days, a week if lucky. Perhaps I should aim for more hydration.

    The quality seems very variable, here is last week’s loaf, same recipe, used a round pot. It felt puffier.
