I wish I would have taken pics of the process of baking this loaf. It was a good lesson in trusting your starter and always following through. I’ve never thrown dough out when it doesn’t “feel right.” I either turn it into focaccia or I bake and pray for the best results. This was a case of bake and pray. When I shaped this loaf it was tacky to the point I had to add flour to keep it from sticking to everything. When it went into my Dutch oven, it was flat and wouldn’t hold its shape. When I tell you I was shook when I took the top off of my Dutch over mid bake and found this beautifully risen loaf, I mean it. It came out perfectly and the taste was amazing! As soon as it cooled, it was gone, I didn’t even have time to grab a crumb shot. The boys devoured it!
