100% whole wheat Elly's Extended cold autolyse
Hi All 100% whole wheat bakers,
You must watch the Youtube,

The only change I made was to sift the whole wheat, and regrind the bran. I then mixed it back into the flour and followed her directions. I often soak the sifted bran separately for 6 hrs. before making up the main dough, but you can skip that step with Elly's method.
The loaf I baked was magnitudes better than any I have done!! I used a cast iron pot and only preheated the oven for 35-40 min instead of an hour.
That was great to get the energy savings too.
