My Lunar Loaf


A key motivation to more reliably predict my sourdough starter's time until peak fermentation is to time the starter's final feed so that I am not baking bread in the middle of the night.  So far I have not succeeded.

I fed my starter at 7:00am.  It was ready to go at noon.


The dome on top has started to fall.
 After mixing, letting the ingredients sit for half an hour, 10 minutes of kneading, 10 hours for the first rise, 2 hours for the second rise, and 55 minutes of baking time, I ended up with this...

Beautiful huh?
Check out the time that I pulled the finished loaf out of the oven.

This is NOT 2:09 in the afternoon.  Sad face.
