6 Grain Plus

I decided to try a 50% whole grain mix of several of the grains I had on hand, and ended up with:
    • Red wheat
    • White wheat
    • Rye
    • Spelt
    • Kamut
    • Emmer

I also made a room temp soaker with equal parts flax and toasted sunflower and sesame seeds.  I also used honey and my faux red rye malt.  I sifted the whole grains and used the hard bits in the levain.  It stood up to a 29-hour cold final rise.  I’ve never done a mix of so many grains. It’s noticeably more flavorful than usual, and I couldn't be more pleased.  The dough handled about the same as normal for the Hamelman 50/50 WW recipe this is based on.

My oven as usual is hotter than the dial reads, and these only took 30 minutes at "450 F."

Thanks!  I neglected to mention that your many-grained approach was my inspiration to try this.  I am amazed at how good the flavor was, considering the grains were all but chosen at random.

yet simple loaf of SD bread can be.  Discovering such a thing just leads to the next one:-)  Only 9,000 more to go!

Hi Filomatic, that is beautiful bread and the taste of a naturally leavened, cold proofed, mulit-grain sourdough...must be delicious!  Well done, very nice indeed.

Thinking of selling bread in the futureI can’t help but think what price tag the bread I bake should have. These loaves you baked are so special. How can you put price on them??? These are priceless!!!!
