Bolder Boule

Profile picture for user Edo Bread

This was an experimental loaf. As the weather gets cold I am testing time and temperature.

The idea here was to increase the ratio of rye starter to wheat starter to 2:1 - this was mostly to give it a stronger fuller flavor - that worked. I also let this bulk ferment for about 24 hours. The amount of time out of the fridge is the variable since "room temperature" is definitely different than it was a few months ago.

This formula is for one loaf but I continually get enough rise and spring to actually bake two good sized loaves.

Beyond the starter, what is the breakdown of rye and wheat in the overall formula? And you know how we love crumb shots, or at least a good description of the density.

Looks beautiful.

This was about 12% rye flour not as part of the starter. Wanted to get a crumb shot but all of these were heading off for others. I got a few good reports back, but didn't actually see them.
