Bio buckwheat bread

I had some buckwheat flour in my cupboard and there were some months since I wandered what to bake with it. So I have found an interesting recipe and this is the result. The dough was almost grey and the bread is also darker. The taste is great, with a special flavor and is indeed remarkable. It is a straight bread so no preferment is made.


Ingredients:

• 600g bio bread flour
• 400g bio whole buckwheat flour
• 600g water (at 20ºC)
• 200g sourdough (100% hydrated)
• 2g fresh yeast
• 10g salt

Directions:

1. Mix all ingredients in a standig robot, 4 minutes an a low speed and 6 minutes on a higher speed.
2. Bulk fermentation 2h with stretching and folding after the first 1h.
3. Preshape 3 loaves and let the dough relax for 5 minutes.
4. Shape as oblong.
5. Final fermentation in lightly floured bannetons 2h at 24ºC.
6. Bake for 40 minutes with steam in the first 15 minutes.
