    These look amazing!

    Do you have any tips or tricks that you’ve learned along the way?

    For my loaf I have the following ingredients.

    350g King Arthur Bread Flour

    50g King Arthur Whole Wheat Flour

    50g Bob’s Red Mill Dark Rye Flour

    11g Sea salt

    1/2 teaspoon Bob’s Red Mill Wheat Gluten Flour

    1/2 teaspoon diastatic malt powder

    300 g warm water

    150g ripe starter

    I combined everything except the salt into a shaggy dough and let sit for 1 hour to autolyse. After that, I add the salt and combine well until dough is still and gluten is will developed. I’ll let the dough relax for about 15/20 min and do some stretch and folds as well. I’ll probably do this about 2-3 times and the gluten should be very well developed at this point. I let it bulk ferment for 4-5 hours at my 72F kitchen. It should be nice and gassy at this point. I do a final shaping and add it to the shaping bowl and let it ferment at room temp for another 2 or so hours. I then put it in the fridge for the night. In the morning, I prep my oven and Dutch oven to 480f and add my dough loafs cold along with 2 ice cubes for 23 min and remove the top and reduce temp to 450f until nice and brown.

    I’m always experimenting on ways to improve and change things up.
