So there were 4 things that could have contributed:
1) Pre-hydrating the flour, even just for a little while.
2) A really active levain compared to the first one.
3) A single stretch and fold after fermenting cold overnight.
4) A ten or eleven hour, warmer ferment for the final proving.
Stupidly good, tasty bread and a big enough loaf that I get my sandwiches out of it today! :party:
Chuffed. Now I need reading material...
Have you been on either The Fresh Loaf or sourdough.com?

I have been on both and I am a member of Fresh loaf though I have never found members that helpful like they we are on here.
If you want a good sourdough book I would get Tartine Bread. Not many recipes but he goes into depth about the science of sourdough.
Reinharts Bread Bakers Apprentice is good but it is a mix of yeasted and sourdough recipes:thumb:
But , sourdough is like beer once you have the basics you can pick up recipes along the way and adapt them. I quite often find yeasted bread recipes and convert them to sourdough. :thumb:
