whole wheat formulas
Hello,
I am looking for a 100 percent, whole wheat, sourdough formula that involves only flour, water, culture & salt. I realize there are many on this site and I would like to know what folks think is the best option. I'll be baking around 15 loaves in a convection oven for my CSB. (Community Supported Bread)
Thanks,

I use TXFarmer's 36 hour baguette formula, at 95% hydration (400 g water, 425 g flour, 150 g 100% starter). It has been a reliable formula for me, despite my slowly improving shaping skills.
desem works well if you have the starter
Here's a link to the classic desem post from the archives - JMonkey converts a bit of starter into WW, and does a Desem-style cool/slow expansion: http://www.thefreshloaf.com/node/1986/desem-i-take-it-all-back
