Unintended Wholewheat (80%) | The Recent Loaf


After a break of three weeks, I reactivated my Lievito Madre with 3 heat refreshments (27ºC). As a take a look at, I needed to bake a bread with Ruchmehl. By mistake, nevertheless, I used wholewheat. The packages look very comparable. After I observed it, it was virtually too late. Spontaneously I made a decision to make use of 80% wholewheat and 20% white flour. Throughout mixing I had the impression, that the dough / gluten construction was (surprisingly) fairly sturdy and I made a decision to bump up the hydration. Began with 75% and ended at (virtually) 90%. Perhaps a bit too optimistic 😉 Not less than in the case of my bench expertise.
