Northwest Sourdough. Recipes. Pain a l’Ancienne (two modified versions) This sourdough was inspired by Johnny's Cibatta Integrale. In making this sourdough, I also referenced Peter Reinhart's Pain a l'Ancienne formula in his [i]The Bread Baker's Apprentice[/i], page 191. Reinhart's formula calls for one night retardation only; however, I used Johnny's timetable as described in the Method below. For a full description of how I came across Johnny's post and Reihhart's formula, please see [b]here[/b]. I made two versions of this levain bread, one using white bread flour, the other wholemeal flour.
