This is the first of our WGB bread recipes.Transitional Wheat Bread, sort of a 50/50 ww and bread flour mix, to acclimate non ww eaters to ww breads, thus the name transitional. the recipe is simple.Mix ww flour with salt,milk ,cover let sit at room temp overnite,or up to 24 hours. Next make a dough of bread flour,yeast, filtered water, refrigerate overnite. Next day make the final dough, remove soaker and biga ( bread flour preferment) from fridge, cut them into a dozen or so pieces to warm, under plastic wrap.
There were no unusual problems,thru the process, and thru the final dough .Al came together in the mixer as stated, this is an easy recipe that even a beginner could do with any issues(imo).
the bread did rise and spread significantly in the oven, I would have made two smaller loaves instead of one large one.
