Notes

The extra water brought this up to ~82% hydration which is too much for whole wheat. That being said, it was still pretty manageable. Would have been better with an extra coil fold or 2 and a shorter bulk fermentation, but I had to leave my apartment so worked within the schedule. I think it was a ~1200g dough which is the top end of what i would want to bake in my standard sized dutch oven - shape isn’t 100% natural because it filled the cast iron.
