Método de trabalho

Ingredients: Wheat flour: I always add my best strong flour, usually around 13% of protein. I use 10x the amount of starter during Summer (RT: 24C) or 7x during winter (RT: 22C) Rye Flour: it’s usually used to keep a good colony of bacteria and yeast, I always use 5% of the total flour. Water: always use filtrated water, and the same amount of total flour (check wheat flour + rye flour).
