Hi bread lovers,

I would like to make a whole wheat sourdough bread with addition of millet flour. My question is how much millet flour in % is it safe to add since millet doesn't contain gluten? Should I bake it in a bread pan so it hold the shape better?

 

Thanks!

With upto 20% of the flour. This is the normal range. 

But may I suggest with starting off small and slowly working your way up. Say 10%? 

Since I'm inpatient I might bake 2 smaller loafs, one with 10% and the other with 20% and see how it goes :) I've read that millet gives a sweet taste to bread when added so I'm very curious to see the end result. 

Thanks!

I've never tried millet before. Let me know how it turns out. Watch for the hydration. I'm not sure what to expect as I've never tried that grain. You'll have to go by feel.
