Made with recent milled durum and Marquis WW flour and a little bit bread flour within the starter.
I added grated Parmesan within the starter and the primary dough. My spouse had not too long ago made confit garlic so I mashed some up and added it as effectively.
The candy garlic and copious quantities of cheese created a aromatic bread that had a smooth crumb and tasted scrumptious. I’ve been grilling some slices after brushing on some good high quality EVO and it’s superb.
This bake had 72 % recent milled flour, milled with my Mockmill 200. I sifted as soon as with a #30 drum sieve and re-milled on the most interesting setting and sifted once more with a #40 for the durum. I discover with durum it actually requires to be sifted twice this fashion or the flour is just too gritty for bread. The Marquis entire wheat was solely milled and sifted as soon as with the #30 after which re-milled.
I used my Ankarsrum to combine up the dough and open-baked it on a baking stone with steam.
Method
Levain InstructionsÂ
Combine all of the levain components collectively for about 1 minute and canopy with plastic wrap.
Let it sit at room temperature for round 6-7 hours or till the starter has virtually doubled. Both use in the primary dough instantly or refrigerate for as much as 1 day earlier than utilizing.
 Major Dough Process
Notice: I exploit an Ankarsrum Mixer, so my mixing order is barely completely different from that of a KitchenAid or different mixer. Add all of the water to your mixing bowl aside from about 1/4 of the water. Add all of the flour to the bowl and blend on low for 1 minute, till it varieties a shaggy mass. Cowl the blending bowl and let it relaxation for 20 minutes.   Subsequent, add the levain, salt, eggs, garlic and the remaining water (as wanted), and blend on medium-low velocity (about velocity 3) for round 12 minutes, till you’ve got a properly developed, clean dough. Now add the cheese and blend till it’s integrated.
Take away the dough out of your bowl and place it in a frivolously oiled bowl, and do a number of stretch and folds. Be sure that the dough is as flat as doable in your bowl/container, and measure the dough in millimeters and take the temperature of the dough as effectively. Based mostly on the chart from http://www.thesourdoughjourney.com, decide what % rise you want and make a remark. If in case you have a proofer, determine what temperature you need to set it at and what rise you might be aiming for. If the dough is absolutely developed, you don’t have to do any stretch and folds, but when it’s not, do a number of units 15-20 minutes aside.
As soon as the dough reaches the specified bulk rise, pre-shape and let relaxation for 15-20 minutes. End shaping and place in your banneton, bowl, or in your sheet pan, and canopy it so it’s fairly hermetic (word: I simply learn a submit that means it isn’t essential to cowl the dough when refrigerating it. I’ve not tried this but, however that’s the method {most professional} bakeries do it, they usually do have devoted retarders for dough). This dough may be very sticky, so be sure you use loads of rice flour in your banneton or bowl to stop it from sticking.
When you find yourself able to bake, preheat your oven to 540°F an hour beforehand and put together for steam. Let your dough sit at room temperature whereas the oven is warming up. When able to bake, rating as desired. Put together your oven for steam. I’ve a heavy-duty baking pan on the underside rack of my oven with 1 baking stone above the pan and one on the highest shelf. I pour 1 cup of boiling water into the pan proper after I place the dough within the oven. I then decrease the temperature of the oven to 450°F for a miche or 455°F for smaller particular person loaves. Bake till they’re good and brown and the interior temperature is no less than 205 – 210°F.
Take the bread(s) out of the oven when achieved and allow them to cool on a baker’s rack for so long as you possibly can resist.Â
