Kamut Porridge Loaf

This was inspired from the Tartine 3 Porridge Breads. I brought a loaf to friends last night and we had a few slices. It was amazingly moist and tasty. This is definitely one that I will make again!

Cook 160 g of Kamut flakes with 360 g of water for 15 minutes on medium and cool.

Autolyse 500 g unbleached flour, 250 g multigrain flour (Robin Hood), 250 g Kamut (khorasan) flour with 750 g warm water for an hour.

Sprinkle 22 g of salt on top of dough. Mix 250 g of 2 build flour/rye levain with the 416 g of porridge and work into the dough by pinching and folding. 

Fold a total of 6 times every half hour doing 4 to 5 folds each time. Let rise for another hour and half in a warm place.

Divide dough into two loaves, pre-shape using the letter fold method and let rest for 20-30 minutes before shaping into boules and putting into rice floured baskets.

Retard in fridge for 17 and a half hours. I didn't bother scoring since I put the boules in the baskets seam side down. Bake in pre-heated dutch oven at 500 F for 20 minutes, drop temp to 450 for 10 minutes, remove lid and bake for another half hour till nice and dark.

Another good bake, Danni! Your breads are so beautiful. :) Funny, I made Kamut bread today too, but not with the added porridge. I've made the Tartine Kamut porridge bread though and also really enjoyed it. I find Kamut to have a lovely fresh cereal kind of taste and the aroma of the baking bread is delicious.

I find it very odd at times that many of us will make similar breads on certain days without us talking to each other! Yes, Kamut has an amazing flavour and I really should use it more often in my breads.

I really like the bake seam side up thing! It gives the loaf such a beautiful natural look :)

This one sounds so tasty, your porridge breads are wonderful. 

How did the crumb turn out?
