Pain Au Levain !
Hello all! If we have not yet met online yet, I am a former chef & hand craft true brick ovens in Dallas.
As I grew up in France, my family has owned and operated a wood-fired oven for well over a century. As a matter of fact, my family still uses the original village wood-fired oven today. We used it for much bread baking, and over the years I have had joy in baking many types of breads which have given me quite a bit experience with levain and I would love to share my tips & tricks!
Here is a new blog I wrote on my business website about levain !

If any questions at all, i’d love to help.
Cordially,
Antoine

One question...the last ingredient 25 grams flour....is that All Purpose, Bread?
Oh and there is no way a loaf of bread every cools in this house before someone cuts into it! They just can't wait.

My apologies, it was a small typo ! It’s meant to say 25 grams of sea salt :-)
When it comes to flour I like to use unbleached whole wheat bread flour.
I find it very difficult to wait for bread to cool off as well hehe. It’s just too tempting with the aroma in the house!
