San Joaquin Sourdough: yet another variation
I haven't made my San Joaquin Sourdough for quite a while. It is one of my favorites, so I made a couple loaves today. I used KAF European Artisan Style flour and Bob's Red Mill Dark Rye. The "variation" of note is that I used a bit less rye (5%) and put all the rye flour in the starter feeding. I also decreased the overall dough hydration just a bit to 70%.
The bread had a thin crust and very chewy crumb. It is mildly sour. It's still a really good bread.
You can find the basic formula and method here: San Joaquin Sourdough 1

I want a slice NOW. And you can tell why I limit my baking. If it's not here, I can't eat it.

I'd swap a slice for one from your sourdough with flax seeds any old time!

... loaf of bread! You got busy right away after your work trip - those multigrain rolls and breads in your other post look great as well.
