These lovely baguettes are made with a stiff levain and all so needs 3 to 4 sets of stretch and folds and placed in to the fridge overnight for 14 hours after taking out ofthe fridge they are divide into 6 parts and shaped into Baguettes / rested for 1 hour and 50 minutes and then baked..
They're something that I have waited for to make for some time, these baguettes are comprised of close to 50 % whole grain, most of which is kamut or if you can make fresh kamut flour.
kamut flour imparts a sweet and nutty flavor to the dough that contrasts beautifully with the baguette’s rustic craggy crust but kamut is even appealing creamy yellow color to the crumb.
I made 6 x 312 grams baguettes. .
Absolutely Delicious nutty flavor!

Out of oven and cooling for 2 hours..
