Seeded Loaf with Buckwheat Flour & Semolina

I'm reposting this recipe because I finally got around to making a video for it! Plus this time I added buckwheat flour, which was.....very necessary. 

Anyway, here is the video, pictures will follow:

There are some really nice shots in the video....the audio? not too great haha. But I think the video illustrates a lot of nuances in dough handling that are hard to describe verbally!

EDIT: In the video I wrote 1 stretch and folds every 20 minutes, it should be every 30 minutes! No more than 6 stretch and folds total during the bulk, and you can even get away with a shorter bulk if the dough is moving quickly enough! The key is to basically watch the dough since time means nothing compared to temperature, flour kind/quality, hydration, etc!

Recipe: 

Dough:

660g bread flour

150g semolina

70g buckwheat flour

695g water

135g rye starter at 80% hydration

Seed soak: 

40g dark flax seeds
17g anise seeds
55g sunflower seeds
20g sesame, toasted
20g poppy seeds
120g boiled water

21g salt

Such an amazing recipe this dough is so nice to work with I just love it!

 

happy baking

and resulting bread.  Enjoyed it immensely.  Put together well.

Only distraction was sweater hem catching flour during kneading but like the way the colours match.  The whole progression is well done and flows together with the instruction tips.  :)

I loved the video. Thanks for posting this. It's getting bookmarked!

I have a question: I make a fair amount of tartine style/influenced bread. I'm surprised by the three minutes of slap and folds. Do you really think that's necessary? Would slap and folds be enough at that stage? It would be less messy and definitely less sticky!!

Great, great, great bread.. thanks..

I used to be very scared of them because I tended to overdevelop the dough and it would break apart toward the end of the bulk, but lately if I keep it gentle and under 3 minutes, it really helps pull a wet dough together quicker. So I would say it's optional, not necessary at all! I've made wetter doughs with just a simple autolyse and stretch and fold in the bowl that came out great. It's just something I've been experimenting with lately because I think it's fun haha.

Thank you so much!

I just double checked your recipe - buckwheat? It's not listed in the ingredient list.. ??

and video.  Love the dark color and sheen on the bread.  Good demo of bench skills too!

I'm a slap and fold/French Fold guy myself, so I'm pleased to see others do it too.

I wish I had your bench skills. I'm going to watch your video a few times and try to learn to handle the dough like you do :)
