The night's experiment

Tonight I experimented with Russian bread "Stolichny". It was baked with liquid levain. It is the GOST-bread. (GOST (Russian: ГОСТ) refers to a set of technical standards maintained by the a regional standards organization in USSR). 

Levain for this bread needs 3-phase refreshing. On the first two refreshings I added a little bit of barley flour (it will be about 10% of all flour). 

I do not recommend to add barley flour in the dough directly. Because it significantly reduces the quality of the bread. But the addition of the flour in the sponge or levain makes bread more interesting, in my opinion. In any case, the amount of barley flour should not exceed 20% in bread.
