Sourdough loaf

Apr 11, 2026

Ingredients

  • 85 grams bread flour
  • 415 grams ap flour
  • 60 grams rye flour
  • 60 grams whole wheat flour
  • 505 grams water — originally 450g, then accidentally added 55g extra
  • 125 grams starter — Fed with mostly whole wheat flour
  • 13 grams salt

Schedule

  • 6:00 PM Mix
  • 6:44 PM Stretch and fold
  • 7:03 PM Stretch and fold
  • 8:11 PM Coil fold
  • 1:00 AM Shape, put in fridge
  • 6:15 PM Bake

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.
