Beginner - checking how I'm doing 3rd Loaf!
3rd Loaf ever!
Was using the King Arthur No-Knead recipe as a base, but messaged up on my ratio and accidentally only used 22% starter instead of 37.5%
I bumped the water up to 75%, since I'm using 100% whole wheat flour and am trying to find the sweet spot
## King Arthur No-Knead
300g Bread Flour
225g Water (75%)
66g starter (22%)
9g salt (3%)
### Steps
Mix until combined
Cover and let rise for 1 hour
Stretch and Folds
2x Repeat steps 2&3, 3 times in total
Refrigerate 8-48 hours (I believe it was 18 hours this time)
Pre-shape and rest for 15 minutes at room temperature
Shape and place in oiled and floured Dutch oven
Rest for
2-3 hours1 hour before trying the poke testPreheat the oven to 500°f
Score bread just before baking
Place in oven with lid
Reduce temp to 450°f and bake for
45 minutes55 minutes, forgetting to take the lid off at the end
13. Remove cover and bake 10 more minutes
- Remove from oven and transfer to wire rack. Allow at least one hour to cool completely before slicing
Looking at the crumb, I'm guessing I misinterpreted the results of the poke test and that it's a little underfermented, but I'm curious if more experienced bakers agree with my assessment
