Gue ceritain kejadian sore tadi di warkop sebelah rumah.
Lagi duduk sendiri, pesen kopi hitam sama roti bakar. HP gue bunyi notif saldo e-wallet sisa 20 ribu.
Bosan nunggu temen yang ga datang datang, gue buka Tangan Emas lewat link resminya:

Niatnya cuma ngisi waktu, spin kecil kecil.
Sekitar 10 spin, scatter masih cuek.
Gue lanjut santai sambil nyeruput kopi yang makin pahit karena hati juga pahit.

Weizenmischbrot with 25% wholegrain rye & 15% T997 rye

I wanted to make a Mischbrot that wasn't too heavy and had reasonably open crumb. Initially I planned to make one of my middlings style loaves , but then I realised that nearly all the wholegrain rye was going into the levain, so there wasn't any need to sift middlings. I did sift off some bran for a cold salted soaker though. I had to use a finer mesh sieve (compared to wheat) to get the bran. 

adapted from theryebaker: pinzgauer bauernbrot

I made it 50% whole rye | 10% whole spelt | 40% bread flour 

Finally found some Allinson's strong white and gave Lance's Middlings technique a go.

Revived my s/d culture and thought i should use it, i decided a bake using my homebrew stout and  Gingin flour mills Atta would go well . The stout was a bit overprimed and made a bit of a mess when i unscrewed the cap . Instead of using 1/2 stout and 1/2 water i used all stout  i also used Millers wholemeal  flour as part of the mix too. i used some Saunders malt and the s/d culture at 20% . It was my intention to add pepitas and sunflower kernels but i forgot those  until much later so went without . It was a small dough for the spiral mixer at 1kg but did a good job.

Good afternoon breaders and breadesses,

Like Paul, and so many others, a post of mine has been used as a source for a chatbot answer. This is a public forum, understood, but I don't like this one bit. Not one bit, I tell ya.

Think I'll go live in the garden shed for awhile.
