    Double fed 100% hydration levain (initial feed about 4 hours before second feed, which was about 4 hours before mixing the bread)

    40%:60% mix of whole wheat:AP flour (~900g not counting the levain flour)

    75% hydration (not counting the levain water)

    1.85% salt

    27.5% levain

    Mixed flour and water for hour long autolyse, then added levain, and salt

    6.5h bulk at room temperature coil folds as seemed appropriate every 30-60 minutes for the first couple hours.

    20 minute bench rest and then shaping

    Final proof was covered in the fridge overnight (about 12h) before scoring and baking in a high steam oven for 50 minutes at 475F

    Looks good, never thought to use those tins. Do you proof and bake in those?
