Sourdough Rye Bread

Wow, sourdough without added yeast takes a LOT longer to rise.  I am spoiled using regular yeast.  This bread took all day to make.  I used this recipe

but added twice the carroway seed, 4g of dill seed and 8g of mustard seed.

Method

  1. Mix thoroughly in a bowl, cover with a cloth and let stand 10 minutes.
  2. Scrape out onto a floured surface and knead for 5 - 6 minutes, yes it will be sticky.
  3. Scrape the dough off the bench and place in an oiled bowl, cover the bowl with gladwrap and let proove for about 3 1/2 hours. You can do a few stretch and folds in this time.
  4. Shape your loaf and let proof for about 3 hours, the correct amount of time will be dependant on the temperature and your judgement.
  5. Bake at 210C for 45 minutes.



I mixed it up this morning at 11am.  It took until about 3pm to double in size.  Punched it down and let it rise until 7pm.  It just didnt seem like it was going to rise any more.  I baked for 45 minutes.  Michael likes it dense, and it certainly is.  Here is the bread right out of the oven.


And here is a slice.  It definitely is not as tall of a loaf as my white bread is.


Michael says it has a great crust, good flavor, but not very sour.  I think it is because my starter is still less than a month old.  Will see how it progresses over time.
