Office hours sourdough boule
This will be my first sourdough try. I'm not completely sure about how to use the starter now that it's healthy and happy. Also, I have very little time in the mornings and about 4h between work and going to sleep, so to avoid waiting for the weekend, and based on this http://www.thefreshloaf.com/node/42543/wallnut-sourdough-bread...
This is my Plan:
- 200g Sourdough Starter
- 350g warm water
- 600g flour (400 bread flour, 200g whole grain wheat)
- 2 tbsp Sunflower oil
- 15g Salt
- 115g sunflower seeds (maybe)
1 - Feed the sourdough as usual but instead of discarding (making pancakes) Feed the 100g "discard" with 50g flour 50g water.
2 - Wait 4h for the starter spawn to grow. (Is this called the "sponge"?)
3 - Mix all ingredients, knead. Form the dough into a boule and put into a bowl and lid on, let it sit at room temperature for 2 hours and put it in the fridge for 10 hours.
4 - In the morning shape into a boule, put in floured banneton, wrap loosely in a cotton kitchen towel and put in a plastic bag and into the fridge to proof for 12 hours.
5 - Bake.
Added a picture of result. Will add crumb shot after it's cooled off.
Great job! How does the crumb shot look?
Too thick and shapeless.I posted it in another thread (I don't know how to post more than one image in this one)

But I got great advice and my next bread is now sitting on the counter waiting for lunch to reveal its secrets.
