            Very happy with the result. I added some boiled wheat seeds making it quite succulent(?).

                                Right on. I love working with rye and whole wheat. The dough is so tight and nice to form. Longer bench times but delicious

                                  Today, I am making white bread with Poolish.  I started the pre-ferment last night…..

                                    So do I… another day, another bread.

                                    Poolish made of „Dinkel“ (which is Spelt Wheat in english I think) flour

                                    Sourdough starter made of wholemeal Rye:

                                    Both started last night too and should ready for making the dough in about 3 hours

                                      Poolish is really a funny thing, I added a piece of yeast in the size of a rice grain to 155grams of wheat and boom…

                                        I put 0.3 of a gram of yeast with 500 gm flour and 500 gm water (well actually, I screwed up because I got the water up to temperature and threw it all in the flour before realizing there was way more than 500gm in the jug - wine may have been involved…. 😉 ).....

                                        And

                                          Can I get your recommendations for a good starting point @Giles @Chap  @Matty123
