Hamelman [Kamut] Multigrain

Profile picture for user Filomatic

This is a pretty bold bake on my Hamelman 50% WW multigrain with freshly home milled kamut in place of WW.  I sifted and used the hard bits in the levain.  My hot soaker was a mix of durum, toasted old bread crumbs from my last batch, brown flax (left whole for a change), mixed rolled grains, and my faux red rye malt.  The cold final rise was about 18 hours.  I was happy that the timing worked for me to give the less bold loaf to my mother for her 81st birthday.  We were both pleased with the taste.

I was hoping for a more open structure, but it's not dense either.  I just read here that you can expect a denser loaf with kamut (http://www.thefreshloaf.com/node/55892/khoisan-flour-says-15-gram-protein).

I also read in the latest Breadtopia post  (https://breadtopia.com/how-to-get-an-open-crumb-with-whole-grain-sourdough-bread/) that cold final rises result in a denser middle, and mine certainly evidences that.

 

Your breads look great! The crumb looks nice and I'm sure it's very flavourful! Enjoy..

Thanks!  Just looked up your breads and am very impressed.  Amazing work.

Crumb looks good to me for this type of bread.  I'm sure it tastes great as well.

Thanks, Kat!  Yes, kamut not only tastes amazing, but the color is so attractive.
