We only have one Dutch oven but have successfully put together a reasonable compromise for the sencond one so we can bake two loaves at a time.

When I just remade this, I used starter that had been fed five days earlier. The more bubbly your starter is, the more reliable your results will be.

Because I'm relatively new to baking with natural starters, does the starter in the first part (for the levain) have to be ready to go and floating? Or is it the Levain that should be bubbly and floating on the day of mixing the actual bread?Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818302133113874649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2524738745087776965.post-27602948584242866232014-12-27T06:04:04.498-08:002014-12-27T06:04:04.498-08:00Hi Joyce!

(I found that it takes at least a few days in the fridge to be the tastiest, even though technically you can bake it after just 24 hours.)

Many of these loaves require just stretch and fold, which you could so with one hand.
