I just want to play around with that and could do trial and error, but maybe someone here makes it and has a few tips? I have looked online a bit, what I want to do is:
max. half all purpose flour, the more whole wheat flour the better
maybe throw in a few flax seeds, rolled oats, other seeds
make enough for 2 or 3 loafs and keep the dough in the fridge (?)
get a nice crust on it
planning to bake in a dutch oven
prefer denser over too fluffy, hearty over too fine
Does that work?
Will I need to add gluten if I use whole wheat?
Can I just start the dough, let it rise for 12h and then keep it in the fridge until needed? Covered air tight? And then take it out, let it rise for 2-3 hours and bake?
Any specific recommendations, recipes or other tips?
Just assume that I am a complete dummy when it comes to baking... I'll be happy to explore other methods, but this seemed like a good and easy place to start before I began thinking about the details... Baguettes and rolls will be next.

P.S. I remember Warren had some tips on his site but I lost the link, does anybody have that? Thanks!
