As with any bread formula, the procedure can be altered to accommodate bakery conditions. However, this formula as it is, is a great starting place for a quick, full flavored wheat bread to add to your daily offerings.
As your customers become aware of the fact that whole grains must become a more significant part of their daily diet they also may struggle with the fact that they do not fully enjoy the taste and texture of a traditional 100% whole wheat bread. This formula contains King Arthur 100% White Whole Wheat which has a lighter color and sweeter taste than traditional whole wheat flours. The inclusion of Sir Galahad lightens the loaf and makes it appealing to a wide range of tastes.

Poolish is set by blending flour, water, and yeast. Cover and allow to rest at 70°F for 14-16 hours.
-
Mix the final dough. In a spiral mixer: 2-3 minutes on 1st speed and 2-3 min on 2nd speed. Desired dough temperature: 76-78°F
-
Bulk fermentation of 2 hours, with a fold after 1 hour.
-
Scale 14 oz pieces for baguettes; 7# press for 3 oz French rolls.
-
Preshape and relax 20-30 minutes, covered.
-
Shape and final proof at 75°F. Take care not to over proof.
-
Bake at 435°F (225C) for approximately 23-25 minutes. Presteam oven and give additional steam of 2-3 seconds.
Increasingly, people are demanding products made with organic ingredients. This French bread is an easy first step in meeting that demand. With this simple formula the only ingredient that needs to be organic is the flour. King Arthur’s Organic Artisan flour is certified 100% Organic by Oregon Tilth. If you wish, this formula can be used with Sir Galahad flour. In that case reduce the hydration of the final dough by 2%.
If you are concerned about cost consider this. Producing the above dough using conventional ingredients the approximate ingredient cost is $0.10/loaf. Using organic flour increases your per unit cost to only $0.19/loaf. So at most you have to increase your prices 9 cents per loaf. However, organic breads command a premium price and it is not unrealistic to assume you could increase your prices $0.25 - $0.50/loaf. Thus, you have not only added a new “in demand” item but it is more profitable as well.
