Artesian breads

Hello from North Carolina

Well, my wife and I disagree.  I like my bread as the original recipe (F, W, Y).  She would like it with some sweetness.  For 500 Gm flour batch, how much sugar would you recommend to add a hint of sweetness?

For slightly more than just a hint (but still not too sweet), use 6% of flour weight.

Would the ratio of flour to water change?

~ 60% hydration.  Just a suggestion, adjust it to your 👩‍❤️‍👨's taste.

A teaspoon or two of honey is another idea, for a little more flavor.
