Ingredients
- 500 g Ireks Wholemeal Mix
- 500 g German bread flour (Type 550)
- 10 g Instant yeast
- 15 g Format V2000
- 20 g Wheat sour
- 20 g Salt
- 750 ml Water, approx.
Method
- Mix all 3 Ingredients for 4 minutes slow and 6 minutes fast, we recommend using cold water to keep the dough temperature at max. 27° C.
- Once all Ingredients mixed, cover the bowl and start the bulk fermentation time for 25 minutes.
- Spray the dough tops of the dough pieces with water and dip into rye flour
- Allow the dough to final proof for 45 - 55 minutes, we recommend covering the baking tray with a plastic foil or cling film to keep the moisture in the dough. If you press your finger in the dough and it comes back halfway, it’s ready to bake.
- Score the tops of the dough pieces to stop the crust cracking. We recommend one long score along the middle.
- The oven should have a temperature of 230°C when you put the loaves in. We recommend placing 2 - 3 ice cubes on the bottom of the oven to receive a steaming effect for a nice crust.
