First loaves of the new year

The last of the stollen and speculaas biscuits have been eaten. The Christmas decorations are back in their box gathering dust. The weather in Manchester is about as depressing as physically possible so it must be time for the first few loaves of 2015.

50% Whole Wheat

A 50% Whole wheat, 50% high extraction, 87.5% hydration loaf

10% Rye

A light country bread with a sprinkling of rye - 40% high extraction flour, 40% White flour, 10% whole wheat and 10% Rye.

The loaves got the 'Stegosaurus' score as the loaf seemed quite delicate and I didn't trust myself to score it with a fruit knife!!

Happy Baking!
