Simple rustic levain with sunflower seeds

This used a mix of my two starters - wheat and rye. Pretty straight forward with some sunflower seeds added for crunchy deliciousness.

Nice looking loaf.  How did the crumb shot come out?  What hydration was your overall formula?

Thanks for the comment.

Didn't get a crumb shot. I have the family convinced that "by law" they have to cool for awhile and that gives me time for a shot of the crust. But, all bets are off after that.

This was a 70% hydration loaf. 150g each wheat and rye starter.

had to help some in that regard,  Well done and happy baking.  Tell the hoard that the first slice gets a a crumb shot too!

Happy  baking
