The Premise
Over the course of 6 weeks we will experience the difference that the percentage of whole grain makes in real bread. With large miche-style boules beginning at 50% whole grain, we will taper downward to 0%. From more closed-crumb, fiber rich breads, to lighter, open crumb boules that showcase flavors brought to bear by the wild yeast. More details in the schedule below!

This is the baseline level of whole grain that I use for almost all of my breads, from the Spudmuffin to Rock Island Rounds!

Week of 3/28: 20%
I'm really looking forward to this sweet-spot ratio!

Week of 4/4: 10%
Chad Robertson of Tartine's famous "Country Loaf" rings in at 10% whole wheat. Maybe we'll even try batards this week instead of boules!

Week of 4/11: 100% Central Milling Artisan Baker +TBD Bonus item!
At this point we should have an open, light crumb and be able to get a good sense of the flavors brought to bear by wild yeast. I'm excited to try a simple boule with nothing but Central Milling it's been such a wonderful base for all my breads to-date, it will be great to see what it can do on its own!
