Sunday, 15th January 2023 In this recipe I added Breadspice, rather roughly ground by hand. The flour part is a mix of 1/3 einkorn (some old sort of wheat) and 2/3 Ruchmehl, which is a flour where parts of the grains outer shell layers are left in.

Notes
- The dough didn’t expand very much, but was springy upon touch. Maybe it was too cold in the appartment and/or the hydration was too low.
