Really happy with how this boule came out this morning.

Recipe

450g KA Bread Flour
50g KA Whole Wheat Flour
350g Water (~92 deg F)
9g Salt
100 Levain

Levain Recipe

30g KA Bread Flour
30g KA Whole Wheat Flour
60g Water
10g Starter

Process

  • Make levain, let ferment for 12 hours
  • Mix flours and water, Autolyse 1 hour
    (Aimed water temp to get dough to ~78 degrees F, your input may vary)
  • Add salt, stretch and fold to incorporate
  • Add levain, stretch and fold to incorporate, then slap and fold in bowl for ~3 min until dough smooths
  • Move dough to oven with light on, 4 sets of stretch and folds at 30 min intervals
  • Rest for remainder of bulk ferment, about 4.5 hours from time levain is incorporated
  • Preshape into boule, bench rest 30 min
  • Repeat shaping, move to towel lined bowl dusted with rice Flour
  • Cold ferment in fridge overnight (only about 7 hours in this case, made the dough late)
  • Score and dust with semolina (I like the texture) just prior to baking

Baking

  • Preheat Dutch oven at 450 for ~30m
  • Used some rice in bottom of Dutch oven to avoid burning bottom of bread
  • Spritz bread with water before placing in Dutch oven
  • Cook 20 minutes covered
  • Cook 20 minutes uncovered
  • Cook 10 minutes directly on rack
