Corn & bread flour loaf - 100% sourdough with malt rye powder

Toast

Hi again


Wanted to share my recent 100% sourdough corn/bread flour loaf.

 

I think i was slightly undercooked, or might just be the characteristics of corn flour.

 

Comments/suggestions welcome!

 

I can share my method if anyone is interested.

 

Thanks

My experience using corn flour is that it tends to retain moisture.

 

Even after the bread is cooked and has sat for 3 days, the crumb is very moist.

 

With that said, the flavor is good. Yours looks tasty!

It will retain more water and have a wetter crumb.... so baking to 210 F and letting it sit on the stone and dry out some with oven off and door ajar before removing to the cooling rack is better than baking to 205 F.

Looks grand inside and out.  Well done and

Happy baking

Thanks for the hints on using corn flour. Very helpful indeed...really appreciate the comments...

Sorry for the late response. Your Portuguese style corn bread looks great... I think I am going to do my next one with cornmeal as an ingredient instead of using corn flour.

A for my method the overall hydration in the method was 75% and the total flour content was 60% bread flour, 35% corn flour and 5% rye
