Hi, This bread began as an adaptation of "Rustic Bread" from Jeffrey Hamelman's book, "Bread". I began using a liquid levain instead of the yeasted preferment in the original formula and increased the hydration from 68% to 72%. The results have been pleasing, the loaf is well flavoured with whole grain rye and whole wheat flours, and the levain provides a mild tang. I needed a new name, one that paid homage to the original and that had some fake european nomenclanture (like Corinthian Leather), and Pana Rustika was born.
