        So my first bread was 100%?

        Amazing work gentlemen. I have some catching up to do.

            If you didn't use any extra dry or fresh yeast… yes. With your Levain you rather won't need any extra yeast. I would be scared what this Levain does at night  :D... IT'S ALIVE  ??? ??? ???

                  Great job chap. I see you remembered to score them!

                  Thanks @Matty123 yes I was curious about that razor blade thing

                              I set out to make an Irish Soda Bread, and unwittingly ended up with an Irish Flat Bread…..Note to self - more dry ingredients next time... 🙂

                                Tastes OK though?

                                Has anyone experienced a sourdough flopping after being allowed to proof too long? Mine has now doubled in size after a four hour proofing. I’m really afraid in won’t last until morning.

                                  Not cut into it yet, but it smells great. (Smellovision, where are you, when we need you?)

                                  Stick it in the fridge to slow it down.  You can put into oven straight out of the fridge…..

                                      I’m bottling it and baking tonight.

                                      EDIT: scratch that, I’m hedging my bets. Baking one now and I’ll leave the other for the morning. Worst case I have one good bread tomorrow. Best case I have two and can compare results.
