Having made a 60% Whole Grain foccacia last week, this week I incorporate DABOWNMAN ideas adding sun dried tomato and herbs into the dough during the initial mixing. This gives it a nice hint of tomato flavor, adding 1 tsp each of dried basil and dried oregano doesnt seem to be enough (as they are a year old by now, i should probably get some new herbs when I head to the market)

This is my very first time of achieving an ear!! Excited!! 

Crumb is not too bad, its moist and light but I was hoping for a more open crumb. Some more work to do next week.

Thanks Darwin. Its a very nice idea of DAB to incorporate Sun Dried Tomato in bread!! Very Tomato, much better than incorporating sodium rich tomato paste.

to make the baker hear better!  Well done

I don't use dried herbs in bread because of what you mention - they have very little flavor left in them no matter how fresh dried they are.  I grow my own fresh ones though and prefer rosemary with sun dried tomato and garlic and then there is pesto bread with all the basil and oregano in it.  I like to fold them into the dough on the next to last fold. so they are evenly distributed by the last one.  For 500g of dough I would put in 1 tablespoon each of SD tomato and Rosemary chopped fine, so in you bread it would be twice that much.   The fresh herbs should come through then.

I was looking through your process and see that you mix everything together except the salt and the levain then do a 12 hour retarded autolyse.

Then I assume you take it out of the fridge and let it warm up before adding he salt and levain?  If so, how long?  Then you do 4 S&F's in 2 hours with no warm bulk ferment and then retard for 24 hours as a bulk ferment.  Then take out and warm up and let double.  Is this double the size it came out of the fridge or double the size it was when it went into the fridge for the 24 bulk ferment? I assume it rose quite a bit during the cold 24 hour bulk ferment like mine does?

Your baking has come a long way very quickly CeciC so that open crumb you seek can't be far away but, at 60% whole grains it will never be like a SFSD white bread.

Happy baking

Thanks for your complement. 

OMG!! I only put 1 teaspoon of each herbs, no wonder why it doesnt come through. I better go n buy a few pots of herbs as i have murdered all of mine last year. 

I didnt let it warm up before I add the salt n Levain, which I think makes it easier to do the S&F and it feels much stronger in compare to room temp dough. Coz last week wasnt that warm so by the end of 2 hours, it hasnt grown a bit so I shove it back into the fridge. The next day when its out, it has grown about 20-30%. My starter doesnt like cold i think It barely move when its below 16C SIGH!!

Actually I was looking at TxFarmer picture when I sliced up mine, which makes me feel really really bad. Mine is completely out of the league when compare to hers. Hers is insanely open. Im gonna have another go at this next week. Hopefully my new banneton will arrive by then.

Thats a fantastic looking loaf of bread.  I don't think you ask for a better crumb with such a dough. I concur that you have come a long way very fast.  Fantastic looking bake.  

 

Now for your version of a Pane Maggiore
