May 7th, 2022. 91st bake.

500 grams of flour, 425 grams water, and 9 grams salt was hand mixed and left to soak for 1 hour.

I used scales to weigh the above, but did not take note of weight of each type of flour.

I wasn't sure how much water would be needed, so I started with 375 grams, then added 25, mixed, and then added 25 more, and that felt right.

87th bake. 02/19/2022. SOTSOT boule, mostly home-milled.

Feb. 19, 2022. 87th bake.

Goals: A boule with 500+ grams of flour to fit in the deep pot of a Lodge 3.2 qt combo cooker, and to fit the baked loaf in a one gallon plastic zipper-seal bag. Mostly home milled, but also use up some store-bought flours such as semolina and two kinds of durum. Mostly commercial yeast, but also use up a chunk of low hydration rye starter that I had set aside but didn't use as expected.

Jan. 28, 2022. 83rd bake.  3rd take on Denisa's formula.  2nd bake for the Rye Community Bake.

Her formula is here: https://www.thefreshloaf.com/node/67054/100-whole-grain-rye-sourdough-bread

1st take was in a regular bread pan that was too big. It used store-bought stone-ground whole rye flour, and no bread spice. https://www.thefreshloaf.com/node/69634/78th-bake-01062022-100-rye
