Comments on: Whole Wheat – Polenta Sourdough http://www.wildyeastblog.com/2008/08/20/whole-wheat-polenta-sourdough/ Notes from my kitchen, in which I bake bread and raise a few other matters Mon, 15 Mar 2010 15:49:55 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Jennifer http://www.wildyeastblog.com/2008/08/20/whole-wheat-polenta-sourdough/comment-page-1/#comment-11632 Jennifer Wed, 30 Sep 2009 15:52:23 +0000 http://www.wildyeastblog.com/?p=857#comment-11632 Wonderful recipe....I tweaked slightly, using whole wheat in the soaker, but high-gluten flour plus 100 g wheat germ in the dough. Mine was a little less dense than your picture, but still wonderfully flavorful and chewy. I love the huge miche that this recipe made; it really highlighted the chew of the crumb....I'm inspired to make bigger loaves with other recipes because sometimes my bread is so crusty that the great chew is sort of lost in the crunch.

Yes, intense is a good word. maybelle's mom, strong mustard, great idea! Erin, thank you! Boaz, I make an 1800-gram miche that bakes for about the same amount of time. Of course baking times vary by individual oven and the rule is always "bake until done." :) Jude, yes, the theory is that scoring prior to proofing whole grain breads helps the slashes better maintain their definition. Chavi, thanks! Jeremy, I hope you're enjoying your time over there! Kim, I hope to see some sourdough from you soon. Mary, thank you! Laura, I hope you have a speedy recovery. I really think you'll do this BBD. Jane, sometimes I've had disastrous accidents but quite a lot of happy ones as well. Keeps it interesting, anyway! Elizabeth, bruised but not broken. Toasted with goat cheese is wonderful. rainbowbrown, thanks! Yes, intense is a good word.

Broken tailbone. Not fun. I hope you don't have to spend too much time in a car... But lovely accident with the bread. I bet this is delicious very thinly sliced, lightly toasted and spread with goat's cheese. Ooowwwwwww!! Broken tailbone. Not fun. I hope you don’t have to spend too much time in a car…

It's a very pretty loaf. Bread baking is one medium that is pretty accident friendly, I find. Maybe that's one of the reasons I like it so much! (as an accident prone and clumsy person).
