Big Bird's Adventures

Republishing this with some updates.

Let’s start this off by saying there are a lot of ways to make bread, and I suppose by “ways to”, I really mean “recipes for” making bread, because really there are a limited number of ways to actually make it.

It all starts with a recipe, and then you can experiment and add your own variance. The recipe I have been following lately starts with:

• 700g Hard White Wheat Flour (King Arthur’s Orange Bag)
• 300g Hard Red Wheat Flour (King Arthur’s Red Bag)
• 1/2C Coarse Wheat Bran*
• 800g H2O @70F
• 200g Starter
• 20g Kosher Salt
• 1C Seed Mixture

* I mill my own flour from Hard White and Hard Red Wheat Berries, and therefore I get all the Bran I need from that.
