Increasing the fiber in my bread
Sourdough Pals:
I have been very happy with my daily loaf. Just terrific and easy to do. I use the Joshua Weissman recipe with slight variation as seen on YouTube. I've got it down.
But now my wife really needs more fiber. That bread is maybe 20% Whole Wheat flour. So, I am thinking of increasing the whole wheat to 50%, but am also considering adding some 9 grain steel cut for more fiber. I am considering using something like this:

How do I use this product? Do I need to soak it first? How much to add by weight or volume?
My typical dough is 1000 gm for 2 loaves.
