I baked the Alpine baguettes. http://ostwestwind.twoday.net/stories/4213855/ This book is really great and a great combination, rye and fennel. Are you sure, you didn't use the pic out of the book? ;-) My book arrived some days ago. I baked the Alpine baguettes. http://ostwestwind.twoday.net/stories/4213855/

This book is really great and a great combination, rye and fennel. Are you sure, you didn’t use the pic out of the book? ;-)

The flour I used was a finely ground whole rye flour. BZ: You are so kind, but give me way too much credit. Do buy Leader's book, though! Elizabeth: I agree, rye & fennel are great together.

Isn't fennel with rye wonderful? (I often make a molasses fennel raisin rye bread with whole fennel seeds at Christmas time.) I neeeeed to make that flat bread! Question: Is your rye flour light or dark? -Elizabeth That looks fabulous! Isn’t fennel with rye wonderful?

Breads with that much rye flour are just going to be dense (hearty!); I don't think there's any way around that. Hi Ben, thanks for the recommendation — I’ll definitely try the farmhouse rye.

I have read Local Breads all the way through and it's a really great read. I just ordered some durum flour to make his pane di Altimura! also, I've got to recommend the german farmhouse rye. I'm new to rye, and it was a bit dense when I made it, but it tastes incredible and doesn't take too long because it's spiked with commercial yeast. mm they look just the the picture in the book!
