Hey thanks, I was just messing with my settings, and must have hit it by accident.

What an absolute beauty!! Thanks for sharing and for the recipe. I’m going to revive my starter and give it a try.

Thanks! It's a riff on one of Ken Forkish's from "Evolutions in Bread" that works well with lots of different combinations of flours, fruit, nuts, and teas. I think I like it better with spelt than buckwheat, but any whole grain works.
