It has been a while since I made the Merton Wholemeal. This is 70% organic stoneground wholemeal wheat flour, and 30% organic white wheat flour, then rolled in wheat and spelt bran and given a couple of distinctive slashes across the loaves. They are hydrated at 82% but I reckon I could go higher. This means the dough is super moist.
They are on sale at COGS of Coventry Saturday 23 November 2024 along with some Merton Simples.
Some Sainsbury’s “rustic” wholemeal buns. Not sure they count as Real Bread, but definitely cheap. How do they make them so cheap?
