    You successfully proved that it shouldn't be proved for so long though. Congratulations.

    thanks. I'll get it framed and hang it in the kitchen as a constant reminder of my failure.

    Failure or, learning point? Either way, hope it wasn't too bad to clean up

    just straight up failure. It was the first warm night in a long time and I'm still on "dead of winter" baking mode rather than "almost summer" baking mode.

    Why does it appear to be 150% hydration? Or was it a really long over-proof which digested so much starch and protein that this was the result?

    It's a rye loaf so needs more water than just straight wheat.

    Ok, interesting; what's your formula? For 100% whole rye I'd settled on about 82% for dense loaves, but was experimenting with 110-130% for reikäleipä type flat loaves.

    honestly, I've got no idea how much water I add. It's a 50:50 rye/wheat mix, I just add water till the consistency looks about right. I definitely have to use a tin though, if I tried to make a cob it'd end up as a flat puddle.

    You left your young yeastlings unsupervised and they had a huge party and left the place trashed, smelling like alcohol and sour, stale air.

    Yeah, this happens when you use too much pudding.
