They were terrible failures, though the one we made in class was excellent. I still don&#8217;t know what we did in class that wasn&#8217;t reflected in the recipe.<\/p>\n<p>Now that I have basic breads down I decided it was time to revisit that loaf and see if I could get it right. The first thing I did was to translate the recipe to weights instead of volumes and figure out the baker&#8217;s percentages. There were a couple of things that stood out to me:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It has a low hydration at 43%, which is lower than most other recipes I have.<\/li>\n<li>There is very little salt in it &#8211; most recipes end up around 2% (of the weight of the flour), but this recipe has 1%.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We made a nice seeded sourdough wheat bread in my <a href=\"http:\/\/anirama.com\/100loaves\/sfbi1\/\">SFBI class<\/a>, and a book called &#8220;The Tassajara Bread Book&#8221; given to me by a friend also had a similar recipe in it. I decided to take the best of each recipe and make my own version. My first original recipe!<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what I decided to do:<\/p>\n<table width=\"200\" border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"1\">\n<colgroup>\n<col width=\"145\" \/>\n<col width=\"89\" \/> <\/colgroup>\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"background-color: #eee; font-weight: bold; color: black;\">\n<td width=\"100\" height=\"25\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"89\"><strong>%<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"25\"><strong>\u00a0 Flour<\/strong><\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">75%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"25\"><strong>\u00a0 Wheat Flour<\/strong><\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">25%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"25\"><strong>\u00a0 Salt<\/strong><\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">2%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"25\"><strong>\u00a0 Yeast<\/strong><\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">1%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"25\"><strong>\u00a0 Water<\/strong><\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">67%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"25\"><strong>\u00a0 Total<\/strong><\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">170%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I used the seed mixture from the original recipe, but varied the portions a bit. I settled on:<\/p>\n<table width=\"200\" border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"1\">\n<colgroup>\n<col width=\"152\" \/>\n<col width=\"89\" \/> <\/colgroup>\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"background-color: #eee; font-weight: bold; color: black;\">\n<td width=\"100\" height=\"25\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"89\"><strong>%<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"152\" height=\"25\"><strong>\u00a0 Cracked Wheat<\/strong><\/td>\n<td align=\"right\" width=\"89\">40%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"25\"><strong>\u00a0 Poppy Seeds<\/strong><\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">10%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"25\"><strong>\u00a0 Sesame Seeds<\/strong><\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">10%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"25\"><strong>\u00a0 Sunflower Seeds<\/strong><\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">10%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"25\"><strong>\u00a0 Pumpkin Seeds<\/strong><\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">30%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And finally, the total weight of the seeds was set at 33% the weight of the combined flours. You can do the math from there (I used my Excel Bread Calculator!).<\/p>\n<p>An important step was to soak the seeds in an equivalent weight of water for 45 minutes before mixing the dough. The seeds will absorb a lot of water, effectively stealing it from the flour. I ran through the math, and to give the seeds this much water is equivalent to hydrating the flour to 84%. I think one of the issues with my original recipe is that the dough was already not heavily hydrated and the seeds soaked out even more of the water &#8211; perhaps in class the seeds were soaked first (like they were in my SFBI class).<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1205\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/anirama.com\/100loaves\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/120407-2622.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1205\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1205\" title=\"A mix of dry seeds\" src=\"http:\/\/anirama.com\/100loaves\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/120407-2622-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/anirama.com\/100loaves\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/120407-2622-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/anirama.com\/100loaves\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/120407-2622-512x384.jpg 512w, https:\/\/anirama.com\/100loaves\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/120407-2622-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/anirama.com\/100loaves\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/120407-2622.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1205\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A mix of dry seeds<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_1207\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/anirama.com\/100loaves\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/120407-2626.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1207\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1207\" title=\"Hydrated seeds\" src=\"http:\/\/anirama.com\/100loaves\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/120407-2626-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/anirama.com\/100loaves\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/120407-2626-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/anirama.com\/100loaves\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/120407-2626-512x384.jpg 512w, https:\/\/anirama.com\/100loaves\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/120407-2626-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/anirama.com\/100loaves\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/120407-2626.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1207\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hydrated seeds<\/p><\/div>\n<p>After the seeds were soaked I mixed the dough (without the seeds) and let it rest for five minutes. It was a pretty stiff dough at 67% hydration. I then kneaded in the seeds, which took about five more minutes to get them evenly incorporated. The extra liquid softened up the dough quite a bit, so I let it rest for 10 minutes and then did a stretch and fold. This pulled everything together beautifully and I put it in the refrigerator overnight.<\/p>\n<p>As a side note here, I&#8217;m really happy that I&#8217;m starting to develop a real feel for the dough. I knew what it was supposed to look and feel like, and when it didn&#8217;t I knew what to do. Very cool. That took about 35 batches of bread to develop.<\/p>\n<p>The next morning I removed the dough, which had risen between 2x and 3x overnight, and preshaped two boules. I let those rest for about five minutes and then shaped them a bit more to get a stiff coating, wetted them, rolled them in chopped pumpkin seeds, and banished them to bannetons. They proofed for 1 1\/2 hours, and then headed to the oven. I baked them hearth-style with steam at 450\u00b0. It took 30 minutes to reach 200\u00b0 internally, then I turned off the oven and cracked the door, leaving them in for another 10 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>The final loaves were very good. Two of us ate them both in two days with every meal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lessons<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The only change I would make to the recipe is to add some honey to it, like the original recipe had. For this amount of bread the recipe used 3 ounces, so that&#8217;s what I&#8217;d start with. The extra sweetness to balance the whole wheat would have been nice.<\/li>\n<li>The loaves also seemed a bit undercooked in the middle bottom, even though the internal temperature was at 200\u00b0. I think the size of the loaves and their higher density than the artisan loaves I&#8217;ve been making keep them from baking as quickly. Next time I&#8217;ll try baking them longer at a lower temp (maybe 400\u00b0 instead of 450\u00b0) so the crust doesn&#8217;t brown as fast.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\t\t<style
