Ingredients
  

  • 140 gram whole rye flour 8% protein content
  • 400 gram Wheat flour 11% protein content
  • 100 gram Wheat flour 13% protein content
  • 480 gram water
  • 85 gram sourdough starter 100% hydration
  • 12 gram salt

Instructions
 

  • Mix all the flour with water and let the dough autolyze for an hour.
  • Add sourdough starter and salt and mix into the dough.
  • Perform 4-5 stretch and folds spaced out by 30 minutes. Let the dough rest until it has expanded 30-40% in volume.
  • Dump out the dough gently on a working surface. Preshape the dough into a round and let it rest for 15 minutes. Shape into a batard and place it in a lightly floured banneton. Place it into the refrigerator for the final rise.
  • Proofing time depends on many factors so be flexible. Observe and touch the dough instead of looking at the clock. The finger poke test is a good indicator.
  • Preheat the oven to 480ºF / 250ºC.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes on an oven plate or baking stone or a dutch oven. Add some steam if you don't have anything to cover the loaf with. You may have to lower the heat to 430ºF / 220ºC after 20-40 minutes.
  • Let the bread cool on wire racks.
