What 5 Grains are in Hamelman’s Five-Grain Levain?
What 5 Grains are in Hamelman’s Five-Grain Levain? I’ve baked this too many times to count. Today I was mixing the soaker and realized that I didn’t see 5 grains in the formula. Since I work from a spreadsheet I thought for sure that it was my error. After checking the book it appears not.
The bread in question is in Jeffrey Hamelman’s book, “Bread”.
Am I missing something?

Agreed, it is a little misleading but the grains/seeds are there. I had noticed this too.
