tip for folks who bulk in cambros; buy a pack of dry erase markers. you can mark the level and starting time when you proof if youre a bit prone to forgetting your dough. they wipe off easily and Ive never stained my cambros (though I use the square ones).

You may know this, but it was news to me until I bought a grain mill and started grinding my own Montana hard red winter wheat which changed my entire taste and opinion of whole wheat bread, A loaf of whole wheat bread made from flour you grind yourself is so much better than a loaf made with all its additives to keep it shelf-stable. It is almost unbelievable, it's that much better in flavor. I have been a Chef, Baker, Pastry Chef and Executive Pastry Chef for about 45 years and I'm not blowing smoke up your fanny. You can search the internet to find a grain mill, I found mine in Nebraska.

KA or Martin, Anyway you can provide preferment weights and times omitting the sourdough culture replacing with yeast? In cases of folks not maintaining living sourdough but could achieve similar ripe preferment with the whole wheat alone. As noted these videos have taken cosmic leaps in quality and instruction by the way, keep it up!

@KingArthurBakingCompany 4 ай бұрын

Hi there! You could experiment with replacing the sourdough starter in the preferment with a small amount of yeast, maybe try a 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon of yeast. And then you'll want to add 14 grams of water and 14 grams of whole wheat flour to make up for the lack of the sourdough starter. The rise times will be a bit shorter, so you'll want to go more so by how the dough looks and feels based on the descriptions in the video and recipe. Best of luck and happy experimenting! -👩‍🍳Morgan

@KingArthurBakingCompany according to my doctor, I can eat it. I can even eat any of the "sprouted" grains.

@KingArthurBakingCompany 4 ай бұрын

You're welcome to experiment! Spelt is different by it's nature, so it will need some adjustments and likely will be a much more dense loaf: keep an eye on the dough since it'll ferment at a different rate than if made as written, and because spelt doesn't absorb as much the amount of water needs to be adjusted by adding the water slowly. Hoping this helps! -🥐Lily

Just made the classic baguettes over the weekend (they went so well!) and now I’m excited to try this next weekend. Could I use “white whole wheat” for the whole wheat flour, or should I stick to the regular “whole wheat” only instead?

@KingArthurBakingCompany 4 ай бұрын

White whole wheat flour has less protein % than the regular whole wheat flour, so it won't absorb as much liquid and be more tender in texture. You can certainly use it! To try out the recipe as-is, though, definitely stick with the regular. 😊 Let us know how it goes, Ayesha! -🥐Lily

I think the syrup is called barley malt syrup. Barley malt comes in powder form and it has it's enzymes active. Barley malt syrup, on the other hand, has the enzymes deactivated, it only brins sweetness and flavour, but not the enzymatic activity. One thing I do not understand: the pumpernickel flour bag says: "Ingredients: Whole rye flour, Contains: Wheat.". What are we missing here?

@breadwright 4 ай бұрын

Not all dry malt is active-they are labeled as either diastatic (containing active enzymes) or non-diastatic (deactivated enzymes). Sometimes cereal grains need the “contains wheat” due to shared processing equipment. The pumpernickel is whole rye. 👍🏻

@@KingArthurBakingCompany well, it was a good experiment at least. Oven spring was just OK. I think the overnight cold proof probably didn't make up for my relatively new, weak starter. the crust looked nice with the steam effect of the dutch oven, but I kind of love the matte, dark color that the loaf had when baked exposed on a stone. overall, I would try the overnight proof again to get a better feel for their effects, but would make sure to use a very lively starter. I'd skip the dutch oven. this loaf looks really great on the stone.

It seems like there is a large amount of preferment in the miche. Is this so you need less bulk fermentation and proofing time?

@breadwright 4 ай бұрын

Hey Barney, off the top of my head I think it's just 20% prefermented flour. That's not too high, considering a normal range might be between something like 18% and 33 to 40% of total flour. But yes, to your point, prefermented flour is just a dial that you can turn depending on your desired outcomes and schedule. More can mean less bulk or more flavor. Good question!

I make a bread with similar proportions of rye and wheat. Does the texture of this bread ever come out slightly gummy? What could cause this?

@KingArthurBakingCompany 4 ай бұрын

Hi Sue! There are a few reasons this might be happening, first is that loaf is still warm when it's cut. This is caused by the structure not being set and the starches regelatinizing (getting gummy) when sliced. Another common reason, is improper proofing -- either over or under. If a dough is overproofed, the structure will collapse before the loaf if fully baked and it will be dense throughout, if it's under proofed it will often be dense towards the bottom of the loaf. A third reason that is specific to breads with rye in them, though more common in breads with a higher amount of rye, is "starch attack". Rye forms a delicate gluten network because the sugars it has are called "pentosans" which are a less stable due to their shape. Starch attack happens when a high percentage rye loaf is over mixed, damaging those delicate pentosans. This is unlikely with a loaf like this one with a small amount of rye flour, so one (or both) the first two factors are probably more likely to be what's causing your problem. We hope this can help! -👩‍🍳Morgan

What temp are you bulk and final proofing at. Is there a general correction if one does not proof at 72f but rather at 84F ?

@KingArthurBakingCompany 4 ай бұрын

If you're working in a warmer climate, we highly recommend you calculate your desired dough temperature to help you get a better estimate on how your rise times will go. Check out this blog article for details on finding what your desired temperature is for your area: www.kingarthurbaking.com/blog/2018/05/29/desired-dough-temperature The studio where Martin is filming from is usually a bit cooler this time of year so his rise times were likely a bit longer than listed in there recipe.
