Recipe:

Champlain Sourdough Bread large

Ingredients

380g water
487g Bread flour (I used AP flour)
48g Whole spelt flour
24g Whole Rye Flour
63g Fed Starter at 100% hydration(fed half and half water and flour)
13g salt

Premix all ingredients at 9pm the night before baking bread. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and leave out overnight.

Replenish the starter and leave out overnight and return to refrigerator in the morning.
The next morning make the first fold at 7am (or when you get up)

look up the folding technique on you tube.

Let rest 30 minutes and then fold again. Fold every 30 minutes two more times and then shape into a ball using flour to keep the dough from sticking. Place the ball on the floured board and pull towards you from the bottom. Turn and repeat to increase surface tension on the ball.

Put the ball into a basket or a floured tea towel lined medium bowl with the seam side up. Let raise 1 to two hours until risen—should see a bubble or two on the outside of the dough.

Preheat Dutch oven with lid in 450-degree oven.

Cut a rectangle of parchment paper. When dough is risen, pour out onto the parchment paper. Make slashes. Take Dutch Oven out and carefully put the dough into the pan. Cover with lid and put back into the oven. Bake for 20 minutes.

Remove Dutch oven and move bread to a cool cookie sheet. Put back into the oven to let the outside crisp up—5 to 10 minutes

Cool on rack for an hour before slicing

Beautiful bread Ron!

I went to get medications because I'm not feeling well, when I opened up the medicine cabinet, I discovered this.

I just have one question, who the heck left a sandwich and cookies in the MEDICINE CABINET?!

I must be really sick, because I am laughing SO hard at this.

Are you going to update the spreadsheet with a link to this version?

I got my spelt flour from Bob, a very generous 3 pounds of it!!!!! But I can't use it until DD1 and her BF head to VA on ... well I don't know when. Apparently it depends on how much craziness happens on/after July 4th.

I will add the link to the spreadsheet soon
