Dave, I love that book, and that's a recipe I've been meaning to try for a while. I don't have a sourdough starter currently, so I guess I know what I'm starting this week. What flours did you use? Amy P.S. Have you ever made Thom Leonard's Kalamata Olive Bread? If you haven't, I highly recommend it. |

Amy, I have tried many olive bread recipes, and that is my favorite, bar none! And the recipe I used to test that new flour is from there - Acme's Rustic Baguettes - and I have made that countless times, as it is my favorite method of making French bread, combining the poolish and pate fermentee. I didn't use that new flour in the bread - I wasn't sure if it had enough gluten to keep the boule from flattening out - but next time I'll use it, and find out. The whole grain flours I used I get at the local Amish market, and I think they have switched over to the white whole wheat, as it used to be much darker. I weighed the flour before and after the sifting through a fine sieve, and it ended up being 84.4% of the original weight, which is very close to the 85% extraction I have read about being used in some of those breads. The bread flour was the KAF. |
