Martin - After watching your Youtube video about this recipe a few times, I attempted to bake this loaf. I used your flour ratios and weighed the ingredients to the gram. The dough felt very wet. Not sure what happened but I used my starter that had been fed in the last week - first rise after 12 hrs was spectacular. Shaped it and put it in fridge for the cold 12 hr rise. It hardly rose at all. Baked it 450 in a dutch oven for 30 mins then 15 mins w/out the lid. The loaf looked good. Not very tall. Looked like a baby loaf. It tastes and chew is good but I wonder if I over proofed the 1st rise so no energy was left in the final rise to give the loaf much loft? Any thoughts? I'm new to yeast bread baking but love the process and have really enjoyed watching your vids w/ your kids!
