got a great sale on a big bag of bread flour and got home to realize it was whole wheat, i’ve only been making loaves for about a month now so i felt like i was walking into uncharted territory lol
decided to just give it a go and if i couldnt figure it out i planned on giving the flour to a neighbor
did a mix of white and whole wheat flour and i’d argue this is my best loaf yet!!
recipe:
500g white bread flour
250g whole wheat bread flour
150g active starter
475g water
15g salt
•mixed up the flour, water, and starter
•rest 30 mins
•dimple in salt then begin first stretch and fold, waiting 30 minutes in between the next 3 stretch and folds
i allowed it to bulk ferment for maybe 4 hours before shaping and into the fridge she went for 18 hours
scored and baked at 450 for 40 minutes lid on, took the lid off and just watched until she reached my optimal doneness 🙂

Looks stunning!
I have so much wholewheat flour, going to try this next week. I’ve saved your recipe, thank you!
Ohh I love brown more than white too
Wow that’s looks gorgeous!!
You’ve inspired me! I am going to try this my next loaf. I’ve had a bag of whole wheat flour for longer than I care to share and this recipe should do the trick. Thanks for sharing!
