My first bread using bakers math
Hi
I made my first bread today following Bakers Math...
800g flour 600 soft white 200 ww
600g water 18 grams salt 8 grams yeast
I put the dough together in a mixer with a paddle and let rest for 20 minutes. I then added salt and switched to dough hook for 3 minutes. I let rise and after 1/2 hour it was quite tall, so I did a fold.
At the one hour mark, I put in pre-heated 400 degree oven on cast iron pan preheating for 20 minutes. Bread baked for 43 minutes with rotation.. I added water for steam 5 minutes before and after putting in oven.
The color and crust are nice, but the dough is chewy......
Any thoughts, advice for me to make the bread less chewy would be appreciated.

What do ya mean by "chewy"?
A standard procedure - mix everything, rise to 2x, knead to degas, rise to 2x, knead to degas, shape, rise to 2x, bake. Just like in the olden days. Enjoy!
