9/27/10 - Rustic Slabs...

So this is my last bake of the week...  Rustic slabs...  These are very large loaves weighing between 790g to 830g after bake and are about 15" long x 6" wide x 3 1/2" tall .  The total dough batch was about 4kg...  They contain 5% rye, 10% WW and 85% AP at 70% hydration.  I also used a 10% of my storage SD starter.  Enjoy!

Hi there, I sure do enjoy the pictures and write-ups of all those beautiful loaves you bake.  I haven't written yet but I've really appreciated all the ones I've seen so far.  Regards, breadsong

You seem to always achieve such rich brown crust colorization. It matches some of my favorite nut brown ales!

Once again, excellent bake!

Thanks!  I did use yeast, (0.018%).  I used 1g per 500g of flour.  In this recipe, I used 2200g of flour, so I used 4g of instant yeast, which is about 1 tsp.
