My weekly bake this week, and I decided to go back to my favorite flour mix - 10% WW, 10% Semolina, and 5% Rye. Of course, the WW % is actually higher since I feed my starter with WW flour, but you get the idea! :) I tried very hard to be as gentle as possible with my stretching, folding, and I like the results thus far (still cooling, so haven't cut into them.) In particular, I think these loaves seemed to hold their shape after being removed from the bannetons better than any loaves I have made before. Here are the particulars, and some pics.....

Super light feeling crumb, and made some great toast to start the day! Happy with this bake, indeed!

You have a winner recipe! Well done!
Thanks, Danni! There's nothing quite as nice as slicing open a fresh loaf of bread on a quiet Sunday morning. :)
