honeyed spelt and oat levain loaf
Hello I just tried SarAh Owens recipe in her book sourdough and the crumb seem to bbe very closed, and a bit sour tasts, any advice? He is the recipe thAt I followed and pics of the finished loaf
Very nice loaf indeed. This recipe shouldn't produce a sour loaf with the spelt, oats and of course honey. Crumb looks very good for the hydration.
As for the bitterness perhaps the flour or oats being used is producing this? Could it be rancid flour?
That's a nice looking bread. I love sour bread, so it wouldn't bother me.
