Making 100% whole grain sourdough again this morning.
The collage is of today's bread which is still in the second prove with a couple hours until its ready to go in the oven. The other pictures are from previous loaves.
(I'm also reusing the leftover bread from my last loaf. So I dried it out in the oven then ground it down to flour again. It made 150 g of flour which I subtracted from the other flours.)
Recipe:

400 g hard white wheat flour
400 g oat flour
1/2 c gluten flour
26 g chia seeds (ground until powdered)
15 g salt
600 ml water
320 g whole grain rye sourdough

Directions:

Combine all dry ingredients in large mixing bowl. Mix. Add water and sourdough starter. Combine. Knead for 25-30 minutes by hand or for 8-10 minutes in kitchen aid mixer.
Cover in bowl with tea towel. Prove for approximately 3 hours or until doubles in size. (I left to prove overnight in fridge for around 8 or 9 hours)
Once doubled in size divide into two loaves. Knead and shape. Either dust in flour or rolled oats to keep from sticking, and place loaves in bread baskets. Cover with tea towel. Let prove approximately 3 hours or until double in size.

Preheat oven and Dutch ovens to 450° F.
Flip loaves or into parchment paper. Score loaves. Spray with water. Place on parchment paper into 🔥hot🔥 preheated Dutch ovens, being careful not to burn yourself. Replace lids. Bake @450° for 28 minutes. Remove lids. Bake for another 22 minutes.
Allow to cool to room temperature (to completely cook inside) if you have the self control not to cut into it right away that is.

I think I’m gonna have to give bread another go. I love to bake! Mostly cakes/pies/cheesecake/cookies, but your bread is very inspiring!

Amazing! My husband makes sourdough, and I love it, but he doesn't get that kind of rise

Just put the bread in the oven. So fresh bread in just a bit over an hour. If anyone is close enough to Brunswick Maryland to swing by and pick up a slice you are more than welcome to. We're having friends over for games, lunch and dinner. You could even bring some more food and join the fun!

Writingwyo, getting a good oven spring can be tough. It's even harder when now with the whole wheat. But the tricks I found helpful are using a Dutch oven or a cloche with the lid on for the first half and then the addition of a bit of water. And everything has to be good and hot right away. I even have started seeing the temp to 500° for preheat and then after it's in the oven I drop the temp to 450°.

Erq1 I think maybe I say "prove" because when I began making sourdough a couple years ago I learned from a YouTube video made by an Irish bakery.

If anyone decides to try this with AP or bread flour instead of whole grain the proportions would be: 800 g AP or bread flour 10 g salt 460 ml water 320 g sourdough starter

Allegra if you're thinking of starting a sourdough spring is a good time to make a starter.

Since my husband is the bread baker, I'll have to pass along those tips to him. Thanks!
