Bread Thread: June 8, 2020: Doubled Flax











Flour: King Arthur Bread Flour

Ratios:

Leaven:
35g flour
35g water
1 tbsp starter

Dough:
70g leaven 
350g flour
238g water
1 tsp salt 
40g ground flax

70.9% hydration

Process:
Day 1: Mixed leaven
Day 2: Mixed dough, 2 hour autolyse, 6X S&F every 30 minutes. Shaped and put in colander overnight.
Day 3: Baked

Remarks: Made less leaven this time and dissolved entire thing in the water at the beginning. Added in the flax with all dry ingredients at the beginning. Improved distribution of flax vs. adding in during S&Fs, and didn't seem to affect the dough. The loaf rose up rather than out, so it was tall but did not fill out to the sides of the dutch oven as other loaves have. Highly pleased with color and flavor.
