40% Whole Grains Sourdough
Recipe SourceHere's how baker_lyds rated their bake:
What went well?
I used a higher ratio of whole grains than I normally do (40% in this vs 30% normally) and got a super nice tang in this! Really liked the colour on this loaf too
What didn't?
Lamination was a little difficult in this loaf. Crust was okay but I keep getting really dark bottoms on my loaves. I've tried a bunch of techniques (triple layering parchment, putting my combo cooker on a cookie sheet, baking on a higher rack, lowering temp slightly). Any feedback is very much appreciated! :)

I had 3 avocados leftover so this was baked to use them in avo toast but they all went bad :(

April 13, 2021Ooh! I can help with this. I used to run into this problem before on my old oven. The trick was to "block" the heat coming from below by putting a cookie sheet on its own rack below my dutch oven. So two racks: one with a blank cookie sheet, another with your combo cooker, etc. Let me know if it works!
