I have tasted it quite a few times and it has become my everyday bread. You can make one boule, small rolls or even a couple baguettes.
Come on, and Eat Bread With Me!!!
Ingredients to make the starter:
- 36 g of Mother Starter (stiff)
- 50 g of Filtered Water
- 10 g of Whole Wheat Flour
- 40 g of Bread Flour
- Total 136g
Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl. Manually it should take about 6 minutes, the dough will be very sticky. By mixer, mix on lowest speed until all ingredients are well incorporated and increase to next speed for about 2 minutes. If it is not a sticky ball at the end, adjust water or flour. Leave it covered at room temperature for 6 to 10 hours or until it nearly doubles in size.
Final Ingredients:
- 136 g of starter (total previously made)
- 218 g of Filtered Water
- 20 g of Whole Wheat Flour
- 320 g of Bread Flour
- 7 g of Salt
- Total 701g
After autolyse is done, add salt and the starter and mix for about 2 minutes at low speed and then about another 3 at next speed up. If doing it by hand it should take about 8 minutes. The dough should be very sticky: don't add flour.
Let dough bulk rest for 2 and half hours doing 4 stretch and folds every 30 minutes.
Degas the dough gently, pre-shape and let it rest for 30 minutes covered with plastic wrap. Make the final shape and let it proof for about 2 and half hours or until you can press your finger in the dough and it slowly rises back.
Bake at 440ºF in a preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes. Use steam the first 15 minutes. If using a dutch oven, bake covered for 25 minutes and uncovered for the remaining time.
Let it cool in a cooling rack and enjoy it!
This bread looks yummy!! Can't wait to try making it. Thanks.
