One of the most frequently asked questions I receive is, "How do I get an open crumb in my bread?" This video shares some processes I employ that hopefully will be helpful to you.

I'm trying to up my whole grain percentage and think this is a pretty successful attempt, using mostly white whole wheat flour. I calculated the whole grain percentage figuring the Type 85 is equivalent to 50% whole wheat, 50% white.
Nice (though fairly mild) flavor, a decent crumb though could be more open. Not sure if I over-fermented. I may want to try adding a little rye and/or spelt next time for a richer flavor. And it's a bit too salty. But mostly happy with this! Comments and advice welcome....
(Sorry I'm not using baker's percentages, I know I should!)
A "Sot-sot" flatbread. Some of this - some of that. Nothing was measured except for a scant 1/8 tsp of salt.
1. Some starter discard, last fed 8 days ago. 100% hydration. Store brand AP flour.
2. Some bottled spring water.
3. Some home-milled whole grain Prairie Gold, hard white spring wheat.
4. Some home-milled whole grain Kamut.

Having only made Bouabsa baguettes once very early on when I first started to bake baguettes I thought it was time to try them again. Because I’ve been enjoying seeded crusts on baguettes lately I thought I should use sesame seeds to enhance the flavour and bite.

Danni's recent post of a SD wild rice and cranberry boule had me intrigued. However changes were in store.
This was my first bake since giving birth last week so I wanted to keep it fairly simple and also start working through my enormous rye berry stash. This was a recipe by Artisan Bryan for KAF using 40% rye and 60% KABF. I followed the recipe, but used home-milled rye instead of medium rye and substituted apples and cinnamon for the peaches used in the recipe. I would recommend this recipe. It's not too sweet and I think it would also make a great turkey or chicken salad sandwich bread.
This post has nothing to do with bread, but I thought Benny might like it.
