    Just cut into my loaf made with this recipe, and I want to say thanks so much!!! I've been trying to make 100% whole wheat sourdough and struggling with dense crumb for a while, really happy that I finally got a nice open crumb. Not quite as open as yours so there's some room for improvement, but I also did use the variant with 175g rye. I think my flour is a bit less thirsty than yours so my dough ended up a bit soft and sticky, next up I'll be trying it with a bit less water and seeing if I get even better results.
    Happy I found this and will be using this process as my standard from now on!

    My dear friend and I just bought a NutriMill grain mill, which I was skeptical about, 25# each of hard: red, white and 25# of soft white grain (for pastry) from Azure Standard. Did a 78% hydration and it turned out beautiful! You dear Charles, have nailed it for me next time at 93% hydration which scares me to death!

    Really informative. I've been going from ten years of cooking with standard store-bought flour to home milled (and therefore 100% whole wheat) flour and trying to figure out how to adjust the recipe and technique i've been doing. Went from 75% hydration to like 84% but it still never felt right. Can't imagine above 90% but excited to try. Also seems like you've got a much longer, mine is like 30-40 min and yours seems to be 1hr. (I'm reading even longer times for that elsewhere). Appreciate the thorough and efficient vid.

    NOTE: If you are using a coarsely ground flour, I recommend using 565g of water rather than the 605g mentioned in the recipe.
    The whole wheat flour used in this recipe is a finely ground whole wheat from central milling (the exact flour is linked in the video description), but King Arthur Whole Wheat Flour, which is readily available at most grocery stores, also works well.

    Hey Charlie. Just tried this recipe and it was AMAZING. Turned out great and was super easy to make. One question I did have though was whether or not I should let my loaf come to room temperature before baking, or if it's best to put it in the oven immediately after pulling it out of the fridge. I did the latter for my bake (and again, it turned out great), but was wondering if letting it warm up would improve it even more?

    • @TheRegularChef

    Hey Charley...just baked this recipe this morning. I did notice that I got nowhere near the oven-spring and rise that I do with your regular tartine sourdough recipe. Could it be because I left the dough in the fridge over night (about 16 hours)? Used the same effective starter and levain I do for the other recipe. Just a bit perplexed. Thanks for any insight you can give me...

      @TheRegularChef  3 роки тому +1

      I'm glad you liked it! For this recipe, the highest amount of Einkorn I'd recommend using is 175g, and I left the recipe for that version on the screen at the 2:20 mark. Einkorn has a very different gluten profile than normal whole wheat flour so if you want to make a completely Einkorn bread, this recipe won't work unfortunately. That's something I do hope to work on soon though!

    @keveckes 3 роки тому

    Hi Charlie, really nice video, thanks! I used King Arthur 100% whole wheat flour and I found that with these ratios the dough is really sticky and hard to handle at the shaping stage. Do you know of any method for predicting earlier in the process how the dough should behave for optimal gluten development and ease of handling? Like somehow doing the autolyse and adjusting before adding the levain / bulk fermentation?

    • @TheRegularChef
      @TheRegularChef  3 роки тому +1

      Yes if you prefer, you can definitely perform the autolyse before adding the levain. What I would recommend though is just starting with less water during the initial mixing (when you mix the levain with the flour and water), then add more water if the dough seems too dry after the first resting period. So ultimately, it'll just become easier as you make it more and get an idea of how the dough should feel at each stage.

  • @serhaniscan6690
    @serhaniscan6690 3 роки тому

    Great video thank you for the instructions. May I ask a couple of questions regarding the process. Why do you add the salt and extra water after a 1 hour autolyse and not at the start? Also can we use room temperature instead of the fridge for the last proofing and if we can how much should we wait for the proof in room temperature?

    • @TheRegularChef
      @TheRegularChef  3 роки тому

      No problem! The salt can hinder the gluten development of the dough, so that's why we perform the autolyse without it. Yes, you can perform the final proofing at room temperature, it would probably take closer to 2-3 hours in that case. But the sure-fire way to tell that the loaf is done proofing is when it springs back slowly when poked.

  • @EladAshkenazi

    Hey, thanks for the content.
    I'd love if you could help me out with my recipe.
    I did 80% hydration with whole wheat flour. 20% starter.
    I didn't get almost any increase in size (i mean during the fermentation) and my dough was incredibly wet and sticky all the way through.
    Do you think the type of flour really makes that much of a difference?
    I was using half regular whole wheat, and half organic whole wheat.
    I'm assuming the lack of rise was due to my starter not being active enough, but what about the moisture?
    Is it possible that my flour only allows 60-70% hydration? It's a bit surprising because i thought whole wheat takes more water.
    Any help (from anyone) would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Charlie, do you ever use vital wheat gluten in whole wheat bread? Would that help with rise or texture? (I'm a novice and ask lots of novice-ish questions) The ww bread, by the way is beautiful!

    • @TheRegularChef
      @TheRegularChef  3 роки тому +1

      I haven't tried it in whole wheat bread actually, but I have added it to normal sourdough bread when I only have all-purpose flour on hand. If you're having trouble getting enough gluten development (i.e. elasticity) in your dough then it would help but otherwise, I don't think it would be necessary. Thanks though, I'm glad you've found the videos helpful!

      It’s a lodge Dutch oven combo cooker! It’s a great budget option for baking bread, but I actually use the challenger bread Pan now, which I much prefer because the size is more versatile and it forms a better seal to trap in steam. It’s a bit more expensive though, so the lodge is still a good option if you don’t want to spend that much. Links to both are in the video description!

      You can just divide everything by two if you want to make one loaf. The longest I'd recommend leaving the dough in the fridge would be about 10 hours, any longer than that and it'll over-ferment.

    • @TheRegularChef
      @TheRegularChef  3 роки тому

      Hmm, when you say cracking do you mean that it was breaking apart? If so, it sounds like you may not have enough gluten development, so you may need to try a lower hydration next time. It's most likely just due to differences in the flour that you're using compared to the one that I used.

    I used very strong wholemeal flour and after an hour of resting my dough looked like batter. Can you recomend what proportions of water and flour I should add?

    • @TheRegularChef
      @TheRegularChef  3 роки тому +1

      Yes, since the flour I used was a finely-ground whole wheat, it tends to absorb more water than most. I'd recommend trying 550g of water total rather than 605g, and that should fix it.

    Hello there! I have a question for you. I tried your recipe and followed step by step. I had issue due to the HIGHT % of hydration and my dough was very sticky almost liquid. Almost had the texture of a levain. It was impossible for me so stretch it. And I had no choice but to add 300g of flour to get the right consistence. And I ended up with a dense whole wheat bread. Please need your advices. Thank you

    • @TheRegularChef
      @TheRegularChef  3 роки тому +3

      Hi! Sorry to hear that, it was most likely due to differences in the flour you used, as there seems to be a lot of variation in whole wheat flours. I would try reducing the hydration by about 100g next time, and see how that looks, and add more water as necessary. It most likely ended up a bit dense because that 300g of additional flour made it too dry.

    • @TheRegularChef

      Yeah, it basically just means a starter that has risen and started to fall again (or fallen completely). You can use it straight out of the fridge if you like, but I prefer to at least give it one feeding at room temp to make sure it's as strong as possible before making the levain.

    The kind of flour makes a big difference. I'm not able to get strong wholewheat flour where I live and that's probably why my dough doesn't develop gluten even after a long autolyse. Can this work for soft wholewheat flour?

    • @TheRegularChef
      @TheRegularChef  3 роки тому

      Yeah it should still work with soft whole wheat flour, but you may need to play with the hydration a bit. You'll have to use quite a bit less water than I used here in order to get enough gluten development.

    The video and instructions are good, however, I have tried at least 6 times with different youtube videos and my dough always ends up not stretchy like on your video the first couple of times it looks good and then towards the end it is very sticky and doesn't stretch like yours...or the others on the other video..The starter I am using is good it has doubled and is bubbly I followed the measurements on based on grams of water, flour salt and the last flour is it too much water? I am using Hard red wheat flour...I grind it myself in the grinder..can't figure out what I am doing wrong can you help or advise? Thanks Diana

    • @TheRegularChef
      @TheRegularChef  3 роки тому

      Ahh, I think your issue may be that you're grinding the flour yourself. I don't have much experience with that myself, but I do know that freshly-ground flour behaves differently than store-bought, pre-ground flour, so I'd recommend trying 25% store-bought and 75% freshly ground, rather than 100% freshly-ground. Also, if it becomes sticky toward the end, it's possible that the dough is over-fermenting, so you may also need to shorten the fermentation time.

    • @TheRegularChef
      @TheRegularChef  3 роки тому

      You could, just by converting the weights I used to volumes (the conversion should be listed on the bag of flour you’re using). However, just keep in mind that it’s much more accurate to measure by weight rather than volume. So when you add the water, I would recommend adding it little by little, just to make sure you don’t add too much.

      No problem, I'm glad you enjoyed! Most likely, whole whole wheat flour should behave similarly to the red whole wheat flour that I'm using. But if you want to be extra careful, I'd recommend starting with 100g less water than I used in this recipe, and gradually add more if it seems too dry.

    I am getting sooo frustrated, not sure what I am doing wrong. Followed the recipe to the dot (the version with 175g rye). But my dough becomes too sticky and liquidy, so I can't shape it, the only difference is that my starter is a mix of whole wheat and rye flour (it's healthy and doubles in size in ~2hours). Also, how is your dough so smooth and shiny (mine is far from that)? Any tips? Much appreciated.

    I’m on my 4th stretch & fold now and my dough is incredibly wet and mushy like porridge. I think it’s because the weather is really hot and I only turned on the air conditioning at the third stretch & fold. My question is how do I rescue a really unmanageable dough? I doubt it’ll come together during the coil folds. It’s not holding together at all.
