🫣 I might start a fight with this one, but I have to ask …
Inclusions during stretch and folds or inclusions during shaping?
And don’t just tell me when you add them… tell me what you’re adding, too. What’s your favourite combination?

My starter hasn’t grown in three days. Should I start over or keep discarding and feeding?
Day 1 went really well and it doubled in size. I was so proud. Then nothing the next few days 🥺

New to sourdough is this a good starter . How far away am I from baking with it . I’m aware that I have way to much in the jar she grew over night in the fridge. It’s 10-12 days old . It’s in the fridge bc I’m not baking every day . It was fed yesterday morning in a pint jar and had to b moved to a bigger jar last night I put it back in the fridge to try and slow everything down bc it was running out of room .

Help…
Okay so this is day 3 for me. I’ve literally never made sourdough in my life and figured why the heck not. Is this good? It seems way too soon for it to be growing and all bubbly right? Everything I’ve read says it takes a week to two weeks at least. Do I feed it? Discard some? Bake?

I am trying my 4th attempt at sourdough (each attempt with a new recipe to see what works best with my dough). I just realized that the bulk ferment is an 8-10 hour rise on the counter. I am not staying up until 2am to finish it so my question is, instead of BF on the counter for 8 hours can I do BF overnight in my fridge? **Picture of my first sourdough so this doesn't get lost

I tried my hand at everything sourdough bagels. I baked at 425 for 15 minutes. Everywhere I checked, the temperature was 200+ degrees… So why does this look like it has raw spots? This is my first attempt so I am sure many mistakes were made 😅 The bagels are well rested and fully cooled.
🙏🏻 Please help me so I don’t make my family sick.
