I usually make my two-loaf sourdough batch with 65-75% white flour (King Arthur or Bob’s). Acquired Stardust (and Tam 105) to experiment as substitutes. Used about 40% Stardust, 20% Tam 105, 15% organic white. The remainder Red Fife whole wheat. Mix was easy, hydration requirements (75%) about the same. Dough quality very smooth and extensible. Flavor excellent: nutty and wheaty, great crumb, chewy crust. Finished color was lovely. Can’t wait to open my Yecora Rojo and Butlers Gold for the next batch
I appreciate that it's an ancient grain. However, I cooked it for an hour and a half, and it was still kind of grainy in texture. Not what I expected from polenta. I would use it in other cornmeal recipes.
