So I've been preparing a starter in a bowl at room temperature for a week or so, feeding it flour and water every day. How long til I can make bread? The starter doesn't float in water yet

Yeah I think there was something wrong with my starter, since it didn't really rise when I left it out, and it didn't double in size during step 3 of the NYT recipe. I still saved my starter so I'll be trying again.. maybe I'll look at the video to see where I went wrong

This is what my starter looks like now, I put it in the fridge a couple days ago after I took some of it for dough but I took it out again and fed it last night.

I think the problem was that I fridged it during the rising step. Anyway it's been out of the fridge this weekend and I've been feeding it, so I might be able to try again soon

I think what helped the most was getting a proper dutch oven instead of a baking pan covered with foil

I let it rise 10 hours before folding, then maybe 12 hours after folding.. I fell asleep last night before I was ready to turn the oven on lol
