Sometimes mistakes turn out alright…
Yesterday I was mixing a batch of dough and put in my desired amount of high gluten flour. Then I needed to add the same amount of all purpose flour… but, as I was pouring the flour into the bowl I realized I had whole wheat flour, not all purpose flour.😖 I immediately halted pouring in more WW flour at close to 300g. You can’t separate the flour from the other flour so I thought now what am I going to do?🤔
I decided if I’m going to use 1200g of total flour like I normally do… 300g would mean I’d be making 25% whole wheat loaves of bread.🤷♂️ So I rounded out the WW flour to exactly 300g and added enough all purpose flour to get me to 1200g total flour, including the 120g of flour from Hank.
540g high gluten flour
300g WW flour
240g all purpose flour
840g water
240g Hank
24g salt
—————-
2184g total weight
- Mix everything except the salt and Fermentolyse for an hour.
- Add the salt by dimpling it in and using the pincher method and the Rubaud method and then do about a dozen slap and fold repetitions… until you can feel it starting to become smooth and cohesive. Bench rest covered by inverted mixing bowl for 30 minutes.
- Do stretch and folds just to help align the gluten strands more. The gluten development is pretty much adequate at this point. Rest under mixing bowl for 30 minutes.
- Do gentle coil folds to align gluten again. Do windowpane test, it passed. Put dough in lightly greased bulk fermentation vessel at 81°f after the gluten development process is complete. Put vessel on heating pad set at 84°f… until it has risen 25%.
- After the dough has risen 25% I dump it out of the lightly greased vessel without touching it or popping any bubbles. I divide it with my 9” bench scraper and preshape it with the scraper to… a no hands preshaping process pops fewer bubbles.😁 Cover with inverted mixing bowls and bench rest for 20 minutes.
- Final shape + into no Lenin liner/no rice flour bannetons + bench rest for 10 minutes + lace bottom seam together to get better tension + put plastic bowl caps over the top on the banneton to prevent dehydration, no rice flour + into 38°f fridge @80°f for overnight cold proofing.
- Next morning… bake cold right out of the fridge. Score first and put right onto the 510°f baking steel and covered for 20 minutes with the baking shell to retain the steam.
- Remove Shell and allow the crust to brown to my desired color and get the interior temperature up to 205/210°f.
Everything turned out ok… 🧐
