Green is the working loaf. Gold is the last mix that still has a gluten net. Red past the ceiling is a sticky puddle.

How it handles

Bran specks without whole-grain density. Autolyse 30 min so the extra ash hydrates. Slightly more extensible than patent; it wants folds more than intensive mix. 74% is campagne. 80% is the last loaf that still stands — above that you have porridge with flavor.

  • Pain au Levain
