Just in case you didn't realize it, I concocted this formula with a lot of help from the pizza calculator. You can make a lot more than just pizza with this calculator. I have tried others this one is still my favorite.

I use several calculators myself (usually foodgeek's).
This is one I don't have, so thanks I will definitely check it out.
My simple fugly loaf was 80% hydration whole wheat, 2 hr. autolyse, then 25% SD and 2.5% salt added in. It came together well and strengthened nicely with s&f, looked like it would be a success, but I need to get a better grasp of what well fermented whole grain looks and acts like. My previous attempt to this one was over fermented and collapsed. I thought it was because of the bran, so I sifted it out and fed it to my SD to hydrate it fully.
Will keep working on it!
I have made many other high hydration doughs with beautiful results (some with milk, oil and sweeteners, but never with all whole wheat flour). This is a new one for me and I am making all the mistakes as if I had never baked a loaf of bread before.
Practice makes perfect ( I wish) and I try to take it in stride. I would really like to add a new sandwich here, so I better up my game. haha.
