spelt- rye sourough

well i have to admit i am hardly using yeast any more - all my breads are now based on my sourdough and its been living in my fridge for a few good months now .

i use the basic starter formula from Barry Harmon's site with a few changes for this bread :

60g of sourdough @ 75% hidration - i fed mine one day before mixing .

mix with 80g ap flour

20g whole grain rye flour

20g spelt flour

and 120g water

 

let is rest on the kitchen counter overnight ( i waited about 12 hours )

 

then add

200g ap flour

50g whole grain rye flour

50 spelt flour

and 300g of water

again let it sit for 12 hours

 

then i mixed the final dough

to the 900g of starter i added 

25g salt

380g water

600g ap flour

100g whole grain flour

90g spelt flour

mixed all and let it rest for about 6 hours

 

then did a stretch and fold .

divied in two loafes , shaped and into the fridge for 12 hours or so

 

baked  covered for 30 minutes amd then 15 more uncovered - i used an iron cast pot .

my oven is a stove gas oven and its a little warmer then normal kitchen stoves - i bake 2 280-300 c

but i guess it will work the same with a normal 250 c baking heat

What a beautiful loaf nirbeltran. A very nice looking crust structure. I trust it is fully airy and loaded with wholesome aroma. The flour combination's you are using are quite popular now for great flavor. Great post.

It looks absolutely delicious!  Wouldn't mind seeing a crumb shot though.  ;-)  Al
