Hi Ravina!

Autolyse is the process of mixing flour and water and letting it rest for a period of time before the mixing step. This kick starts the gluten developments and a series of enzymatic reactions that help develop better flavor, aroma, and rise in the dough.

Hi Poonam!

can you try 82-85% instead? Might help open up the pockets a little more. Flour X is a thirsty flour and the higher hydration helps attain better fermentation and extensibility – that will help the dough hold larger air pockets.

Thanks for trying the recipe! This looks great – the crust color, perfectly dimpled top, rise and crumb.

The over aesthetics of bread largely depends on the choice of flour. I had used a blend of Series C 8615 and 8318. Flour X is a strong bread flour but whole wheat which is why you do not see the air pockets. What was the…
