Almost had a top on but circumstances dictated a topless loaf . All whole grains Yecoro Rojo, Spelt , and Rye with purchased Golden Temple Fine Durum Atta. 600g of flour combo , 150g of Trinity ( used date nectar as sweetener and buttermilk and EVOO) 360 g very very active levain . Misjudged the amount of H2O the flour was quite dry and needed to add +200g so 1600 g loaf in a 1400g pan! Ooops. Topless is the way to go.
Fragrance and color is magnificent with the butter crust and date nectar adding a rich hue. Having family for a dinner tomorrow with great stuff from a Wegman’s run yesterday in C’ville. Cheeses and imported meats alcohol free beer. They have an amazing selection .
Edit : I just couldn't resist so had a thin slice. Delicious and tender and mild. Perfect as an accompaniment to the meat and cheese tomorrow.
Still in my Pullman phase I guess. Next up will be all grains I milled. Including levain which is currently 100% hydration using Arrowhead Mills bread flour.

Very Nice and I'll bet tasty!

We just had grilled cheese and fresh fruit for supper . Delicious crunch with melty insides.
I can’t get over how easy this bread has become. Basically a “ quick” bread. My starter has been on overdrive since I restarted it in April from extremely stiff back to 100%. It just leaps when I feed it and seems to really love this formula.
Thanks for looking. 🙏
Ah, the Long Pullman. The loaf looks especially good for not having a lid during baking. Nice looking!

It’s such an easy do nothing formula. I can’t mess it up if I try. Added 200g extra water and still no issues. Put the lid part way on and then drug it off and crumb still perfect. Just the usual folds and 2 x very thinly patted out like a pizza and rolled up put it in the pan Baker’s done!
Hope you are on the mend. Thank you Tom!
