Olive Bread

Starting with this Country Style French Bread recipe, I'm going to add olives and maybe some other spices, and modify it to have a bit more whole wheat (using white wheat flour):

For the Sponge Starter:
  • 1 cup cool-lukewarm water, preferably spring water (90 to 100°F)
  • 1/2 teaspoon active dry or instant yeast
  • 162 grams unbleached bread flour
  • 35 grams white or traditional whole wheat flour
For the Dough (modified):
  • All of the sponge starter (above)
  • 1 cup lukewarm water, preferably spring water (100 to 115°F)
  • 3/4 teaspoon active dry or 1/2 teaspoon instant yeast
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 200 grams unbleached bread flour
  • 250 grams white whole wheat flour
  • 20 grams vital wheat gluten
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 50 grams unbleached bread flour for variations in consistency
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon milk powder
I seem to have misplaced my camera... where oh where is it...
