This is how you make the perfect whole wheat sourdough bread every time. The recipe contains all the important explanations that allow you to master the recipe at home every time. The bread features incredible taste, tremendous oven spring and an amazing crumb - all with 100% whole wheat, completely made by hand.
I'd say it all boils down to 3 things:
- Choosing a good whole wheat flour
- Building a lot of dough strength (and skipping the autolysis)
- Fermenting on point
Details of the dough:
- 400 grams of whole wheat flour
- 340 grams of water (85%)
- 80 grams of starter (20%)
- 8 grams of salt (2%)
