I am getting close to a master recipe that seems to work well for many combinations. But I am still working on it.
I keep a 100% whole wheat Starter
I feed it twice before baking.
So far what seems to work well is the following formula:
- 75% hydration
- 20-25% levain or starter as a % of the d total dough weight
- 2% salt
- I usually boost the levain by adding a pinch of instant yeast because most of my breads are whole grain
- Flour combination :
- 50% AP
- 35% Locally milled Whole Wheat
- 10% Spelt
- 5% rye
I don't know, but this flour combination seems to play well together
For this latest bread , I folded in a seed mix of sesame, flax, sunflower, and pumpkin after kneading and fermenting, right before the final shaping.
