100% whole wheat with walnut oil and hot honey - just out of the oven. This is the first time I’ve ever attempted a 100% whole wheat loaf. The dough more than doubled in 6.5 hrs at 65F with only 50g of starter.
Recipe:
- 500g whole wheat flour
- 375g water (likely could have used as much as 400g with this flour)
- 10g salt
- 50g starter
- 25g hot honey
- 25g walnut oil
- Rolled oats for topping
This loaf is very dense - think rye or even pumpernickel - and significantly more sour than any other loaf I've made. I can barely taste the honey but I believe the oil lends an almost creamy mouthfeel as you chew the bread. The crust is crispy but seems to chew much more easily than a typical loaf I would bake. I really love this one - so different!
On a separate note - does anyone know why some images display as completely black when uploaded? I’ve tried several times to upload them but am getting the same thing. Weird? I’ve been doing this from my phone. Will try uploading from my computer later to see if that makes a difference. EDIT: Uploading from my computer worked. I'll follow up on that with the forum admins.
