    Porridge:
    – 90g rye flakes
    – 180g water
    Combine and let sit a couple hours.
    Cook in a small pot until the porridge changes texture. It only takes a couple minutes.

    Main dough:
    – 540g bread flour
    – 60g whole rye flour (20%)
    – 270g porridge (I do not weigh it after cooking)
    – 435g water (72.5%)
    – 120g levain
    – 13g salt

    Method:
    – Autolyse 2h. (I usually do 4h)
    – Add starter (was fed 1:1:1, took 6h to double) + 30min rest.
    – Add salt + all of the porridge and mix. Let rest for 30min.
    – 2 sets of coil folds, 45min apart.
    – wait until bulk ferment is over. My indicator is typically 50-60% vol increase.
    – 20min bench rest
    – shape
    – cold proof overnight in the fridge (10h)
    – Preheat to 500F, load loaf, reduce to 350F and spray a good amount of water with a spray bottle. Bake for 20min. Open bake with hotel pan filled with water.
    – turn oven back on to 450 and continue baking for 30min.

    It’s, well, pretty perfect. Beautiful job.

    Beautiful. It looks like it has a spongy texture. If so, is that the benefit of using a porridge instead of just using fine ground rye?

    Looks beautiful! Do you let the porridge rest overnight or used it when it reached room temp?
