85% Whole Wheat Bread
Hey All,
Just wanted to share with you all my experiment baking whole wheat bread... This is 85% whole wheat flour with 15% bread flour, and 85% total hydration... I also used a small biga starter, and a long autolyse for the whole wheat portion of the dough... The texture of this bread was lighter than I expected, but not quite what I had intended... I would like to try for a lighter texture in the future... The flavor however is has a wonderful sweetness to it... There is no added sugar or anything other than flour, water, yeast, salt, and time... Lemme know what you think. I can post a recipe if any of you are interested in trying this one out... It takes about 11 hours to make...
