Frautosour

About 25% sourdough starter, but I let the 75% autolyse first. Added a T of milled flax and olive oil too.

Gave me a nice texture -- perhaps one of the best I've had. Autolyse is my friend.

I just wish I knew why I have to crank the oven to at least 500 to avoid beige loaves.

I'd have taken a photo of the whole loaf, but it was late & I was hungry.
