I had some buckwheat flour on hand, so I used ~200g rye and 200g buckwheat (the rest of the flours I held constant). I also added a tablespoon of malted barley syrup (breads I like from the store often have this ingredient, so I figured, what the hey!) and a cup of crushed walnuts. The bread came out dense, moist (but not gummy), and with a nice spring to the crumb. Delicious!

I was excited to find this recipe, as so many “sourdough” whole wheat breads call for packaged yeast to supplement starter. Thanks, Susan!

Ulrike: Thanks so much for hosting this BBD and giving me a reason to make friends with rye.

Elizabeth: Oops, I really wasn’t trying to scare anyone, just confessing my insecurities. I’m glad yours turned out well!

Tatter: thanks!

Arfi: thanks, one of the things I like about this bread is how easy it is to slice thinly.

I’m so glad that I didn’t read this BEFORE making my rye sourdough! I had no idea that it was supposed to be tricky… (ignorance IS bliss)

How lucky am I that ours turned out!?

And clearly, you didn’t need to be worried at all. Your bread looks beautiful! I really like the slash marks.

Let me thank all participants for the 3rd round of breadbakingday . The theme was bread only leavened with sourdough, preferably from rye. It might be that my condition only leavened with sourdough wasn’t clear enough, so we have two kinds of particip…

Eric, thanks for stopping by. I am a fan of your bread, too, and you are of course an old hand at rye, an inspiration!

Zorra, thanks again for founding bbd. For some reason I can’t access your website to see your latest breads. Hopefully that’s just temporary.
