This soaks the ground flaxseed in warm water before mixing it into the dough, letting it form a gel that adds moisture and helps bind the denser whole wheat flour, which otherwise tends to bake up dry and crumbly. A blend of whole wheat and a small amount of bread flour keeps the loaf hearty and fiber rich without turning out so heavy it doesn't rise properly.

This leans on an extra long, cool bulk fermentation, longer than most standard sourdough recipes call for, since that slower process is what builds the sharp, distinctly tangy flavor San Francisco sourdough is famous for. Shaping the dough into a tight, taut boule and proofing it seam side up is what gives the finished loaf its classic round shape and dramatic, open ear once scored and baked.
