Flat Loaf with Sparkling Wine and Fresh Figs

The bread has the smell of summer. It contains very sweet  fresh figs and  a litlle tart strawberry sparkling wine. It tasted best warm but I also enjoyed it  later with Brie.

Sourdough:/Zaczyn zakwasowy:
52 g rye sourdough (whole grain)/zakwasu zytniego
205 g water/wody
206 g white whole wheat flour from Trader Joe`s*/maki razowej z pszenicy bialej
*From my experience...I think that the flour from the white wheat has weak gluten. I  can shape the loaf only  when I reduce hydration significantly. Does anybody agrees with me? I do not have these problem with whole (red) wheat floor from Stop&Shop.

Wine ans Figs:
462 g NANDO Fragolino sparkling wine/wina
350 g fresh  figs/swiezych fig

Mix all ingredients for the sourdough and soak figs in wine. Leave them (covered) for 12 hours at room temperature. /
