Dark whole durum sourdough bread

This is a bread with a new interesting combination of ingredients: organic whole wheat, durum and barley malt. This time I have used the liquid barley malt and not the powder one. The difference is in smell and taste. While the powder malt smells like coffee, the liquid one smells and taste like caramel. Imagine what this brings to your bread... a light sweet flavor and a dark color. As this bread contains a lot of whole wheat flour, I was not expecting that it would raise that much so I have added some gluten powder to give it a kick to make bubbles. It worked and in the end I have baked a nicely aerated bread that I am proud of.
