Whole grain (not whole wheat) experiment
Both loaves got 3 stretch and folds and then a rest for approx 3hrs till sufficient rise (a bit less than double) then I shaped and baked them
I wanted to experiment with whole grain content to see how it would change the texture /taste of the bread
It has a much warmer earthy taste that amplifies the sourdough taste in a delightful way
Im definitely surprised at the difference in browning and the fact that the higher whole grain content had larger bubbling (forgot the correct term)
Recipe:
for bottom loaf
- 320g warm water
-200g starter
-300g ap flour
-150g whole grain (red winter wheat, fresh milled)
-12g salt
For top loaf
-320g warm water
-200g starter
-225g ap flour
-225g whole grain (red winter wheat, fresh milled)
-12g salt
