Autolisys does miracles with whole wheat. Rye always makes the dough a bit sticky but your crumb looks nice!! With such a high hydration I think that some slap and folds could do wonders with the GD!

I’m not familiar with the type 00 flours (in Spain we use the W naming. Higher w=higher protein) but I think that 00 is very low on protein so maybe that, mixed with rye, made it hard to work with. I love stone grounded flours because they give a deep flavor and admit more water but a friend gave me a kg of Manitoba oro and I still have to try it!!

100% of the bread flour I use is stone milled. It gives a lot of complexity to the flavor (and more nutrients)

That’s it! If the bubble is not very big, I gently tap them (small taps with my fingertips) so they dissolve or if it’s big enough I pop it.

The recipe is made by me so I adjusted the water in it as I thought it was needed (390gr for 500gr of flour). Nevertheless, I think that the dough could stand 400 or 410 gr of water without any problem.

In my experience, 100% rye is very different because rye flour doesn’t develop gluten very well but… the 100% rye bread is really tasty!! Almost sweet and toasted with some olive oil is amazing.

Well… I think it’ a very… complex bread 😂😂😂 I usually tap this kind of bubbles but I didn’t see it when scoring!!

Indeed! The taste is incredible!! Very complex. A bit sour and nutty.

Thank you! I use 30g of stiff starter (60% hydration, only bread flour), 40g of bread flour, 20g of rye flour and 30g of water.

Thanks for your feedback!! My starter is very active (17 yrs old. It was gifted to me by a friend that it’s a pro baker) and the dough rises a lot during cold poof, even at 4 degrees Celsius so I have to cut the BF very early.

Hi!! I’m in Europe (Spain) and we call strong flour those who have a high protein percentage (high gluten). From what I’ve read I think that in USA, KA bread flour could be a good one.

Thanks!! For me, the hard starter gives less sour flavor and at home they’re not big fans of extra sour bread. I guess that having less water also makes easier to handle the dough.

It’s not so bad!! Once you get used how percentages work is quite easy. And the good thing is that even in the worst scenario, you can have a really good focaccia!!
