Reinhart Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread (Flat)
I made the Reinhart 100% Whole Wheat Sandwich bread (the first one in the book, I'm pretty sure) and it came out flat like a Ciabatta. I tried to make a Batard, per the instructions, and it just didn't come out. The dough lacked the strength to hold its shape for very long so it flattened out while proofing.
I used a Kitchenaid dough hook to do the mixing. I am thinking that the dough needed to be stretched and folded somewhere in the process, maybe, to build up strength in the dough. Anyone had any experience with this and know where I might be going wrong?
I'll post a picture of the pancake tonight. :)
