Tuesday's Bake (cornmeal, date, flaxseed sour with spelt)

So I'm going to attempt to post more frequently, assuming my kids allow me the free time and I can get the photos to post. (As I type this the baby just knocked over my cup of coffee across the table)

alrighty then, so I'll make this one quick, reduced the Levain seed down to 16.5% from 20%, the whole wheat (15% flour weight) is a local mix from the bin at the co-op (different ranch from the last loaf I believe). 10% flour weight is whole grain spelt, and the remaining 75% is my usual bread flour. Hydration 80% (Not including soaker). Salt 11g.

soaker: 30g cornmeal, 20g flaxseed meal, 50g dried dates (pitted) diced small. 50g boiling h20.

mixed all but salt, autolyzed 1hr, added salt, pinched, stretch n folds at 10m, 20m, 30m 1hr. Rested till doubled, preshaped n shaped as usual, retarded 12 hrs. 

450 Dutch covered 20 min, uncovered 23 min (turned it down to 425 for the last 8 min - got a bit too dark, I'm guessing from the extra sugars from the dates)

 just tasted it's good, the dates are nice and sweet.
