Plus I made a plain Loaf for me.

Those look amazing.  I just bought some spelt flour.  Would you be willing to share your formula for this bread?  Thanks Lavanya

I don't know if my formula would work for you. I don't know what your starter is like, the flour you use, the method you use to mix and shape. I can tell you it is losely based on a Tartine formula.

But thank you for your kind words.

Cheers,

Wingnut

I have a white 100% hydration starter, King Arthur flour, spelt flour from NYbakers.   I use the Tartine formula as well, and  while the country boule turns out great, the 20% spelt bread 75% hyrdration bread felt a little wet/too moist.  The crust and crumb on yours look much better than mine.  Is 75% not a good hydration for spelt?  Thanks.

My starter is 75% Hydro. I am on the lazy side, but I will try to type up the formula for you over the next couple days.

the floured bannetons give such a nice look to the loaves.  Great crust and crumb and great crust colour.  Off the hook man!
