Again time for 100% whole rye
hydration 90%, whole rye 100%, inspired by https://brotokoll.com/recipe-archiv/roggy-balboa-100-freshly-milled-rye-sourdough-bread/?lang=en
changes: no old bread, used my LM as initial starter (I feed only one LM and use it for all my bakes), fermentation temps are probably lower than in the original recipe
I've been developing this formula for weeks, and I was testing the possibility of adding more sweet potatoes into my loaves. I didn't plan to post it, but thanks to our brief discussion with Debra, I decided to post it.
Steamed sweet potatoes were used to make this loaf. They hold water really well (duh, they literally were born with the water), handling 85% hydration dough felt like handling 75% hydration regular tangzhong dough. You may say this is tangzhong on steroid.
I didn't name it that, the name comes from the original creator! It's a recipe that is pretty extreme when you're thinking in terms of bread, but it isn't even a bread as we know it - no raising agents, nor any flours, and of course it would be gluten-free. Basically, a seed, nuts and oat loaf bound together with psyllium (and perhaps some chia/flax).
Here's the ingredients list:
Second expriment with the flour from th esupermarket
Same: 5% whole wheat, 5% rye, 20% LM
Changes: 70% hydration, cold bulk fermentation (preferred method because I can control better the fermentation and the final proof)
Rather than go through each machine one by one, as I had intended to do, I thought it more useful to just post a graph showing the baking pan temperature versus remaining time for a number of bread makers. The purpose is to give a good picture of how each unit performs as an oven to bake bread in.

Substitutions: None
…after watching a few videos from the Vito Iacopelli and Gluten Morgan YouTube channels. Having been reticent (or just lazy?) to explore much beyond my standard 100% hydration levains and poolish, the videos made a case for lower hydration pre-ferments.
Whole Wheat Rye with Corn Flour SD
It’s time for a hot pastrami sandwich, so I made rye bread with fresh milled whole wheat, rye, and corn flour. I added some molasses for sweetness and some sour cream for extra tang.
A friend of mine decided a few days ago to kick off the BBQ season, albeit on short notice. Still, it was a good opportunity to try mwilson's burger bun recipe. Pls check his blog for the original recipe.
Said and done, I had to skip the cold bulk fermentation. Even then, the time was a bit tight for the final proofing.
My flour has pretty sure a bit less protein than the one in the original recipe. Needed 2-3x stretch & fold.
Laned here by asking about flouring a banneton which I've never used before. All good ideas, thanks to all, but I decided to join TFL. Thanks for the good ideas, re: apf and rice flour to use.
