I love the sound of this combination, but I wanted to ask if the 200g of starter is correct. It did not sound like enough for that amount of flour. Thanks for posting.

I tried this last night. The dough was too wet, so I had to add quite a bit of flour to be able to shape. Also, it was too much dough for one bread, I wouldn't have fitted in my dutch oven. I had to make two smaller loaves. Other than that it tastes really good :)

That's a heck of a big loaf! Sounds like a nice combo of flavours with the mix of flours, potato and walnuts! I'll add it to the list :)

So sorry, I did not mention that this formula is enough for 2 big boules. You could make 3 medium boules ;)
