It was cold today, so no concrete to pour.
I decided to try some rye bread since we planned on grilled Rubin sammies this week.
First time making rye, but it went well. This is made with a sourdough starter, but only 1/2 tsp full. I used one that I made. Making this is a long process, but well worth it.
Here is the sponge, ready to get mixed up with the rest of the ingredients.
Here is the rest of the ingredients: Water, high protein flour, caraway, salt, and butter.
KitchenAid doing it's thing.
2 loaves after rising for about 2 hours, before baking. I didn't quite get the 2 loaves divided evenly. Usually I weigh the dough before separating out into loaves, but this is way to sticky a dough to handle too much.
After baking for 10 minutes at 450°, then 30 minutes at 350°.
And here is a slice. Excellent bread.
As stated earlier this bread is made in 4 steps that takes about 40 hours from start to finish. It always amazes me how these breads come out when no additional yeast is used. Nothing but the yeast that you captured and grew yourself.
I will post pics of the grilled Rubin's Wednesday when we have them. This would go great with fried fish.
If you want to try this bread, the recipe came from here. http://www.sourdoughhome.com/newbohemianrye.html
