Everyday Loaves - Whole Wheat Artisan 

Using 100% hydration starter (1:1:1) and following the original recipe closely. (Artisan Sourdough made Simple)

~120 oz
Mix:
7 oz starter
52 oz water
36 oz white bread flour (add more flour if using all-purpose white)
30 oz whole wheat bread flour
2 T salt
Be sure to mix starter and let it rise, usually overnight, just before mixing in the morning. Starter should be very very bubbly.
~60 oz
Mix:
3.5 oz starter
26 oz water
18 oz white bread flour
15 oz whole wheat bread flour
1 T salt
Mix and rest until it begins to clean the bowl and form a shaggy ball.

Rest 30-60 min, can knead lightly in this timeframe.

Knead just  until it forms a smooth ball and begins to tighten and thoroughly cleans the bowl. Can stretch and fold instead of using the mixer until it makes a fairly strong ball.

Bulk rise:
8-10 hours at 70*
4 hours at 'proof' in oven

Form into loaves for french bread pans or rounds to bake on the stone:
Two 30 oz each
Three 20 oz each

Make a ball, rest 5-10 min, tighten the loaf.

Rise 30-60 minutes just until puffy. If making rounds, flour the ball, flour pasta bowl and cover with damp towel.

Bake at convection roast 425* 30-45 minutes. Bake to 200* internal temperature.
