This is a sourdough loaf that i made at home, i used both bread flour and whole wheat flour. The fermentation happened in 2 stages ( bulk fermentation and overnight retard in the fridge. ) I became obsessed with how the yeast work with all the variables . As a kid i watched my mother used sourdough starter in the bread she made and her bread always turned out so sour. And when I started reading and learning about sourdough bread it triggered my curiosity about why the bread was that sour growing up and that was the start.

Hi, welcome to the challenge, Chef Zouhair! 😄 I love how this loaf connects technique with memory: your mother’s sourdough, that childhood acidity, and now your own curiosity about fermentation. The crumb and oven spring show beautiful control. What variable are you most excited to understand next?

@soldamiani thank you Sol. I was talking about the timing, hydration, flour types… those are all variables that I had to figure out and account for.

Beautiful loaf, Zouhair! I love how your curiosity started from a childhood memory and turned into understanding the process behind sourdough. The crumb looks great, and the two-stage fermentation clearly gave the bread lovely structure. Great work!
