It is a follow-up bake to my 90% hydration ciabatta minis utilizing totally different levain proportions. From that experiment I turned extra assured of utilizing as much as 50% rye levain in my dough, so I made a decision to use it to this bake.

The objective is an on a regular basis household loaf that has 1) good flavour; 2) extraordinarily subdued bitter tang; 3) will not be too dense; 4) doesn’t require a lot mixing; and 5) has a lot of the entire grains within the pre-ferment for simpler digestion (husband suffers).

I made two loaves, one with 40% rye levain within the remaining dough, and the opposite with 50%. The measurements for the 50% loaf are:

Levain: 245g

Rye starter: 35g; Rye flour: 105g; Water: 105g

Last dough: 500g

Rye levain: 245g; Bread flour: 152g; Water: 100g; Salt: 3g

 

Whole hydration of the dough, accounting for the levain, is 78%. % of rye/complete flour is 40%.

Combined the components collectively within the morning and simply left it to do its factor. Bulk fermentation to 50% took 4.5 hours at room temp 22C. After shaping, it rested for an hour earlier than it was baked at 220C for 35 minutes.

Verdict

Good. Each are keepers. The 40% levain really didn’t style bitter in any respect and had a very aromatic profile. The 50% had a extra pronounced character and was solely very mildly bitter.

Pretty aroma; husband says: “This bread smells like beer.” Didn’t count on the kids to eat it, however our 2 12 months outdated polished off one slice (extracted the walnuts, although).

I do not know if I’ll pursue a fair greater rye levain loaf. This works for what I needed. I would incorporate a soaker to to boost the flavour profile.

I am experimenting with the identical recipe for my crimson wholegrain spelt. Yesterday was a flop; the dough didn’t behave. I shall strive once more.
