    Sourdough base that worked pretty well. The starter was stronger than before, and had a great tangy flavor. I think I let it rise a little too long as it got very thin in parts (you can the puncture that occurred when turning), but that might have helped the flavor.

    For the levain mix:
    50g sourdough starter
    50g 00 flour (Mugnai di Napoli)
    50g bread flour
    100g warm water

    For the final mix:
    425g 00 flour (Mugnai di Napoli)
    75g bread flourΒ 
    260g warm water
    10g salt
    200g levain mix

    I let it bulk ferment for 6 hours (which was probably a little too long, but I’d lost track of time), and then balled and put in the fridge for 24 hours. I took the balls our 4 hours prior to cook.

    I can almost feel how soft and chewy that base is. Well done sir.
