70% rye 2 Levain Pullman

Pullman

400 g of levain half was Sourdough and half was my YW levain that I’m keeping as a firm starter  and just feeding it flour and water. 

It was 1400 g but didn’t quite fill the Pullman. I used my Trinity at 25g for each component. Dough fragrance was a rich chocolate. I used 3 laminations on a very wet counter to create a lovely elastic dough. 

Will definitely make again. Having it with Smoked Salmon and Horseradish sauce and veggies. Yum! 

Crumb

More pictures shortly. 😊

Cut fresh from oven … oops delicate but so delicious warm.

Tastes like a rich cake. Very fine crumb. No sour due to the YW I think and the bulk rise took place in the pan and then retarded. I’m pleased we wanted something for the salmon and cheeses. 🙏

I never would have guessed that was 70% rye! Beautiful crumb!

As things often change this  wasn’t what I thought it would be from the appearance at the time I placed it in the fridge at 11:40 pm. I peeked and saw it hadn’t filled the Pullman as it usually does. I assumed it would upon baking but alas it knew better what it was capable of. I was gifted a delicious creamy rich rye perfect with the smoked salmon . A lovely surprise. 

I’ll see what it does the next time. Thank you !

Like a cake . Perfect with the salmon as a contrast to the crunchy spicy vegs and horsie sauce. 

I never know what I’ll get when I put together a new combo. 

I was telling my Robert about Varda working on a bake for weeks to get it ready for sale to the public. Lucky for me my public of 1 is pretty easy to please. 

Thank you Ian. c


Crazy   -1 wind chill coming this weekend. I’m sick of winter.

It looks great.  I just finished the 69% rye Muscovite Rye from The Rye Baker, doubled in a Pullman pan and spread over 1 1/2 days; no slicing until tomorrow lunch.

What is YW?

Thank you! We enjoyed the loaf.
I was lazy and didn’t write it out. I took my apple yeast water , there are tutorials all over TFL if you want to make one, and made it into a starter by adding flour. Now I maintain it by feeding it plain water and flour. It appears to be staying as a different yeast from my regular sourdough starter. 

That’s a beautiful Rye bake! Look forward to seeing the crumb and hearing about the flavor etc.
