Currently baking good SD bread using the standard Forkish/Lahey techniques :  mix --autolyse -- fold -- proof -- shape  -- refrigerate -- bake.

Would like to add some seeds (like sunflower, sesame, flaxseed, etc)  to the interior of a basic APF/WWF loaf.  How?  At what stage in the process?  How much seed for a "standard" loaf (1.5 lbs)?  Any impact on amount of other recipe ingredients?

Thanks for your advice.

soak them overnight (or at the same time you start your levain). i like to add them in at the second set of stretch and folds.

my seeded loaf, similiar to the front page loaf that mrjeffmccarthy makes, is about 25% seeds as a total of the flour (which is probably more than most recipes i've seen). i don't think there is a standard... all about preference!
