    Warning: can turn bread gloopy if not careful

    Took several batches before I got to correct mix.
    Using with Marriages Uppermost Strong, with sourdough starter and a long ferment.
    1st: 2% = total goo in the cenre (standard bake time)
    2nd: 1% = still gloopy in the centre (+10 minutes bake)
    3rd: 0.5% = perfect, slightly moist crumb, flaky crust (like a baguette)

    This might change with different flours and ferment time.
    My advice would be to start at the low % and work up rather than high % and work down.
    Experiment with small loaves to cut down on potential waste.

    Gives an amazing colour and crust when you get the right.
