RE: Shifting to Whole Wheat / 全粒粉シフト

in BreadBakerslast year

It's very interesting to see you experiment. Does the dough become difficult to handle with do much water? And how many times do you need to fold it each hour?

Sort:  

Whole wheat flour absorbs water a lot, which I think I learnt from @shanibeer few years ago when I made some bread with whole wheat flour and regular water amount. It turned to be a stone-ish one ...
For the folding I do three times;

  1. mix <60 minutes rest>
  2. two times folding <60 minutes rest>
  3. two times folding <60 minutes rest>
  4. two times folding <60 minutes rest>
  5. Shaping in Ciabatta shape (it's actually in away folding)

But this kind of long rise bread doesn't care much when I forget to fold one time. That's good 😁
