When made well, it has an open +> crumb, which is unusual for 100% whole grain breads, and a +> deliciously sour and nutty flavor. + +**Overall Formula** + +* Whole wheat flour: 60% +* Whole spelt flour: 30% +* Whole rye flour: 10% +* Water: 75% +* Salt: 2% + +5% of the flour is in the starter, which could be whole wheat, whole +rye or whole spelt, and can be 60% hydration or 100% hydration. + +**Ingredients** + +* Whole wheat flour: 300 grams or 2 generous cups +* Whole spelt flour: 150 grams or 1 generous cup +* Whole rye flour: 50 grams or a generous 1/3 cup +* Whole grain starter: 40 grams if stiff (a dough ball about the size of a golf ball); 50 grams if wet (about 3-4 Tbs) +* Water: 375 grams or 1.5 cups + 1 Tbs +* Salt: 10 grams or 1 and 3/8 tsp + +**Mixing** + +Dissolve the starter into the water, and then add the salt. Mix +the flours together well, and add to the water. Mix until everything +is hydrated. + +Dough development and the first rise However you develop the dough, +it’ll need to rise at room temperature for 8-10 hours. Use the wet +finger test to see whether it’s fully risen in the morning. + +**Shaping** + +Be gentle. You want to retain as many of those air bubbles as +possible. Rounds and batards are the traditional shapes. + +**Second rise** + +You can let it rise for another 2 to 3 hours at room +temperature. You can also speed things up (and increase sourness) by +placing the dough on an upturned bowl in the bottom of a picnic +cooler, throwing a cup of boiling water in the bottom and covering it +quickly. After an hour, throw another cup of hot water in. The rise +should only take a couple of hours this way. + +**Baking** + +Score the bread as you like. Hash marks are traditional for +rounds, and batards usually take a single, bold stroke down the center +or a couple of baguette-style slashes. + +While you can certainly bake this bread on a cookie sheet, it benefits +from a stone and some steam, or a covered baker. However you do it, +bake at 450 degrees for about 40 minutes. |
