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
