Ingredients
- flour - 500g (preferably whole wheat or high protein for better water absorption)
- water - 400g (too much for this recipe, causing overhydration)
- sourdough starter - 50g
- salt - 10g
Instructions
- Mixing the ingredients: Combine flour, water, sourdough starter, and salt without properly adjusting hydration, leading to overhydrated dough.
- Attempting to fix: Add more flour in an attempt to correct the hydration, though this disrupts the balance of other ingredients.
