a pretty loaf

Toast

Sorry no crumb shot as this was a gift.

is as follows:

125g leaven at 100% hydration

400g KA bread flour

100g whole wheat flour-fresh milled

10g salt added after autolyse

400g water-50g reserved for autolyse

 

 

 

 

 91% Hydration! Holy moly. Makes the tightness even more impressive. Bet that was fun to work with.

Toast

its a very wet dough. I bake it in a cast iron dutch oven which really helps it hold its shape and not spread out. Depending on the weather conditions it can be necessary to add a little more flour.

back at my formula I see an error. I typically use 300 grams of water. Sorry for the error 

for  25% WW bread - about 4% higher than I would use, but the 64% with 100 g less water seems way too dry if not in the UK using weak flour?  Looks more like one of my 78%'ers and the gifted has to be happy as any kind if pie!  Well done and happy baking ricman!
