Sourdough Batard(78% Hydrations)

Ya...ya..ya... I'm baking sourdough bread again! Hehehe... because it tastes darn good! 😋Making sourdough is one of my favorite activities of late, and the batard is my favorite shape. It’s rewarding and not labor-intensive, though it does require a lot of waiting.Sourdough is known for its characteristic tangy flavor, chewy texture and crisp, crackly crust.😊
