Hi from Barcelona!

Hello everyone, my name is Elizabeth. I am a newbie home baker enthusiast and have grown my own sourdough starter since September 2019, baking and making all the possible mistakes I could make since then :-)

Yesterday I started the prepping to bake my first 100% whole wheat sourdough loaf (~ish, since I used a bit of regular wheat flour for the levain). Here's how it turned out today:

Whole Wheat 01

Whole Wheat 02

Still haven't cut it, I'm so nervous to see if it turned out well on the inside... Will keep you posted.

I hope everyone is safe and baking their hearts out through these difficult times we're living. I sure am!

Best,

-Eli

A great looking loaf Eli - I would be proud of it, especially for 100% whole wheat.

Here's a pic of the crumb:

Whole wheat 03

Compact, yet airy. You could feel the bran with every taste. I want to improve it, but I loved the taste and texture!
