Thanks for the reply. I am probably done with the 5-grain bread for a while. There are so many other recipes on the website to try, and not nearly enough time. I have another question. I live in Texas in the winter and spring, and spend my summer and fall near Chama, New Mexico. Since baking bread is new to me, I don’t know how altitude impacts it. I know you are at 5,000 feet in Albuquerque. We are at 7,500 feet. Do you have to make any special adjustments for the altitude?

Hey Shirlene! Sorry for the delay. If you're having trouble with that levain, add more water so it loosens up some and becomes easier to mix. Even just 10g additional water will help with the consistency.

It didn't turn out well. The levain was very thick, and I had trouble mixing it with the dough. I was hoping to see the recipe on the website with more detailed directions. I don't see it listed. Does anyone have suggestions on improvements to the recipe, or is it located somewhere on the website that I didn't notice?

I usually feed it, let it ferment at least overnight, then make a levain.

I have a focaccia and pita recipe in my cookbook 🙂

And do you happen to have a focaccia and pita recipe?

When you pull the starter out of the fridge, do you use it straight from the jar or do you have to feed it a few hours before?

If you're getting hooch that usually means it needs to be fed sooner. Yes, stir it in or pour it off, either way.
