I remember Allison bread form my childhood as my fathers bread of choice .
I wanted to bake a tasty whole wheat sourdoug loaf for lunch and this bread so I thought maybe I should try to create a sourdough Allison look a like.
It seems simpler then I thought, al you need is whole wheat flour, water and salt.
Bakers percentage
100% volkoren meel
90% water
1,5 - 2% zout
I use a 1 liter baking tin.
Levain
50 gram whole wheat flour
50mgram water
10 gram starter
Dough
370 gram whole wheat flour
328 gram water
7 gram salt
When everything is mixed you get a thick paste so let it rest for half a ouhr and the do three sets of stretch and folds every half ou.
Let it rise until it is about it increased about 50%
shape and place in a greased baking tin.
One thing in my experience you need 80% of the tin size in liter dough weight.
So if the tin is 1 liter / 1000 ml you need about 800 gram dough.
put in the fridge and bake the next morning.
Wow, that really looks like a nice sandwich bread!
Did you bake straight from the refrigerator? At what temperature and for how long?
Murph
I get it out if the fridge when the oven is hot enough for baking.
I preheat on 250 °C when I put the bread in the oven I turn the heat to 225 after 25 minutes a turn the heat to 200 fir 10 minutes.
That looks wonderful dbazuin, really great crumb and crust. Are you happy with your Allison bread? I have to admit I’ve never heard of this bread before.
