Rustic bread
Ingredients
- 500g flour (425g)
- 375ml water (300ml) - 150g levain (75x2)
- 10g salt
Process
- Autolyse ≈ 45 min
- Bulk fermentation ≈ 4 hrs (pull and fold 20-40min)
- Shaped with 4 folds and dusted with flour and flaxseed meal
- Proof ≈ 16 hr in fridge in loaf pan
- Cooked 35min @475 with pan of boiling water for moisture
Crumb: seems like well proofed, even bubbles. Maybe a tad under proofed with the small bubbles.



- I should have scored again before baking because the proofing left the score mark flat. The bread broke on the side too at the seam of the loaf pan.
- I should have dusted with flour only and then sprinkled flaxseed meal on the top so that the shaping didn’t get a lot of the flaxseed unevenly distributed into the loaf.
