Wholemeal Sourdough

I hadn't made a Wholemeal Sourdough for a while, I do like its flavour and while I was feeding my starters this week I separated some of the Wholemeal and fed it up. The recipe is from Teresa Greenways Udemy course and as I paid her for it I don't think its right to tell you.

Next morning I added flour, salt and water,

After four hours and three folds it was well developed and ready to shape.

I thought I would try shaping directly into the Dutch Ovens this time, I've lost too many loaves (and burnt too many fingers) trying to slide dough into hot ones.

After 8 hours in the 'Dutchie' they weer ready to bake, 240°C for 45 minutes.

After 30 minutes with the lid on the last 15 are opened.

And here it is, not huge but tasty, I didn't want huge holes as you can't make sandwiches with it. (Its really hard to butter air!)
