This bake was primarily based on a earlier components, which used white mashed potatoes and spelt flour. I modified this up a bit, utilizing Danko Rye and Marquis Wheat from Barton Spring Mills, and substituted half the flour within the scald with contemporary milled Hopi Blue Corn.

Final time I baked this as a free-standing loaf, however because the dough appeared much more hydrated than the earlier bake, I used my massive Pullman pan as a substitute. The general hydration, together with the roasted candy potatoes, honey, and scald, is available in at a pleasant 106.68%.

I adopted together with the identical process I’ve been utilizing to attempt to obtain most gluten growth. I did 2 units of coil folds, half-hour aside throughout bulk, and one set of stretch and folds. I let this rise 50% earlier than shaping and putting it within the Pullman pan. I used my dough scraper to assist form the loaf and transfer it into the pan since this was a really sticky dough from not solely the hydration, however the rye as effectively.

The Marquis wheat was milled with my Mockmill 200 and sifted as soon as with a #30 drum sieve, and re-milled on the most interesting setting. The Danko Rye was solely milled as soon as on the most interesting setting and was not sifted. The barley and Hopi Blue Corn for the scald flour have been milled solely as soon as on the most interesting setting.

The full quantity of contemporary milled flour on this bake was 83.5%. I sifted 3% of the bran from the entire wheat. If the sifted bran bothers you, simply add it again while you make the scald.

I used my Ankarsrum to combine the dough.

I added a bit of honey, which actually introduced out the malty taste of the barley.

The white candy potatoes have been roasted till good and gentle and mashed up earlier than including to the dough. Be aware, this number of candy potato shouldn’t be truly very candy and tastes fully totally different than the everyday orange selection. It does comprise round 75% water, which is rather less than the orange selection as effectively.

Total, this bake turned out wonderful. The crumb was good and moist and really open. It was a really flavorful bread.

Method

Levain Instructions 

Combine all of the levain components collectively for about 1 minute and canopy with plastic wrap.

Let it sit at room temperature for round 6-7 hours or till the starter has virtually doubled. Both use in the primary dough instantly or refrigerate for a number of hours earlier than utilizing.

Scald Instructions

Pour boiling water over the components and blend till included. Cowl and let cool to room temperature. I put mine within the fridge to let it cool faster.

 Primary Dough Process

Be aware: I exploit an Ankarsrum Mixer, so my order of blending is barely totally different from that of utilizing a Kitchenaid or different mixer. Add all of the water to your mixing bowl besides the 70 grams of water. Add all of your flour to the bowl and blend on low for a minute till it types a shaggy mass. Cowl the blending bowl and let it relaxation for 20 – half-hour.   Subsequent, add about half of the remaining water, honey, and the scald and blend for a minute. Add the levain subsequent and blend for 10 minutes, rising the pace to place #4. Let the dough relaxation for 15-20 minutes after which add the remaining water, candy potatoes, salt, and blend on medium (about pace 4) for round 14-17 minutes till you could have a properly developed, clean dough. If obligatory, combine longer. You wish to have good gluten growth from mixing the dough.

Take away the dough out of your bowl and place it in a calmly oiled bowl, and do a number of stretch and folds.  Be sure the dough is as flat as attainable in your bowl/container, and measure the dough in millimeters and take the temperature of the dough as effectively. Primarily based on the chart from http://www.thesourdoughjourney.com, decide what % rise you want and make an observation. You probably have a proofer, resolve what temperature you wish to set it at and what rise you might be aiming for. I had a DT of 75 F and set my proofer to 75 F and aimed for a 50% rise. The extra skilled you get, the higher you can be at realizing how far you’ll be able to push your bulk proofing. I pushed this one to round 55% rise. Do 2 units of coil folds, half-hour aside. After one other half-hour, do a set of stretch and folds.

As soon as the dough reaches the specified bulk rise, put some cooking spray or water in your prep floor and, utilizing a dough scraper, form the dough right into a log. Instantly place it in your baking pan and canopy. Let it rise in a single day within the fridge for round 11-14 hours. I’d not go any longer, or you’ll threat having the dough get too bitter. With a lot contemporary milled flour and the rye, it’s higher to be secure than sorry.

On baking day, when you preheat your oven, take the dough out of the fridge, and let it sit at room temperature for 30-45 minutes.

When you’re able to bake, an hour beforehand, preheat your oven to 395°F. Bake for 25 minutes with the quilt on after which take away and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes till the interior temperature hits 210F.

Take the bread out of the oven when achieved, take away it from the pan, and let it cool on a baker’s rack for so long as you’ll be able to resist.
