rusbrot THSD Šventinė duona -100% whole grains

Forums: 

This is rusbrot's Šventinė duona which uses a thermophilic sourdough (THSD) - in the family of Type II sourdoughs along with clas/flas. I had 17 gr of frozen THSD (enough for 1/3 of his recipe, which uses 1000 gram of flour). This is a tiny loaf for all the hours of tending! But the fragrance and flavor are beautiful.

Breads for Guests - Paderborn Rye & Workday Whole Wheat @ 85% Hydration

Paderborn Rye & Workday 100% WW @ 85% Hydration

We have company for a couple of days so I had 2 loaves ready when they arrived.

- Paderborn Rye from "The Rye Baker".  I did a retarded proof overnight for convenience.  It didn't seem to work out; I have had better results following the formula which calls for an 80 minute proof at room temp before baking.  Not much volume but it tastes pretty good.  One of our guests, a lady of a certain age, said she had never tasted rye bread before.

Inside of bread sticky and moist

I tried my first loaf of whole grain bread last night. This morning when I cut into my fully cooled loaf it was slightly sticky and moist inside. It does spring back. I cooked it to an internal temp of 200F in the center. Was the dough too moist?

Recipe was 250g bread flour

50g rye flour

150g whole wheat flour

125mg mixed cooked and cooled quinoa, barley, oat, farro and brown rice

2 1/4 tsp yeast

1 tsp salt

1 1/2 cup water

It was baked at 375 for 45 min. Until internal temp read 200.

Photos: Workday 100% Whole Wheat 2023-04-02 

Formula: "Bread" Workday 100% Whole Wheat Formula

I don't use the honey in the formula because I need to avoid sugar.  My wife and I really like the flavor without the honey. 

I also use 10% chopped walnuts, which my wife loves and I like.
