Rouge de Bourdeaux & White Whole Wheat Sourdough
Based on: Tartine - Book No. 3 by Chad Robertson - White-Wheat Blend (Ode to Bourdon)
I've become interested in milling my own flour but before I took the plunge I purchased some Rouge de Bourdeaux freshly ground flour from Barton Spring Mill (https://bartonspringsmill.com/products/copy-of-rouge-de-bordeaux) to check it out.
This is a dense mostly whole wheat bread that I am quite happy with and will put into my regular rotation.
Tasting Notes
Crumb - sour dairy with notes of plain yogurt
Crust - toasty with notes of nuts and malt
Grain Character - moderate with a slight taste of cooked oatmeal
Recipe and Process are below for those that are interested.
