Sourdough Batard (78% Hydrations)

Baked Sourdough bread again! 😉

Today, I tried different method to make this bread. Normally, cold retard after shaping... but, this time I did the reverse method.  Cold retard first, and then did the shaping the next day. 

This bread turned out very nice with crusty skin and soft bread crumb.






 Prepared this ☝ sourdough bread topped with cheese, pepperoni with green chili salsa and Smoked chicken slices with lettuce.
