Notes
- Levain was too wet, and did not float.
- Starter was fed 8 hours before used for levain.
- Dough was very sticky during bulk wise. Too high hydration due to using brown flour vs wholemeal flour?
- Dough was not too sour. It seems one should feed the starter regularly, regardless of keeping in fridge.
