MULTIGRAIN BOULE

Course Lunch
Servings 1 loaf

Ingredients
  

  • 250 grams all-purpose flour
  • 125 grams whole-wheat flour
  • 250 grams other flour or grain (I use a mix of rye, spelt, buckwheat, and rolled oats, but sometimes include things like quinoa and grits, soaked in some of the water.)
  • 375 grams water
  • 12 grams salt
  • 3 grams yeast

Instructions
 

  • Combine all ingredients in a standing mixer fitted with a dough hook and mix for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Cover and let it ferment for 3 hours.
  • Knead the dough on a floured surface and form into a boule.
  • Coat a banneton (or a bowl lined with a cloth napkin) with flour and toss some pumpkin seeds and oats in the bottom. Put the boule bottom side up in this proofing basket, cover it with a towel, and let it sit for 60 to 90 minutes.
  • Preheat your oven to 500˚F/260˚C with a Dutch oven inside.
  • When the dough has proofed, upend the dough into the Dutch oven and cover, turn the oven down to 350˚F/175˚C, and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the top of the Dutch oven to finish cooking, another 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Remove it from the Dutch oven and let it cool for at least an hour.
