Rye meal

Hi all,

I posted this question somewhere else, but it was buried in a longer post and got no replies:

I'm wondering rye meal. It's called for in the BBA sunflower seed bread recipe as a soaker, and I've yet to see it in any stores here. The recipe also says one can use coarse dark rye flour, and I have something more or less labeled as such, but it's neither very coarse nor very dark.

 

What do you think my best options are here? I have access to whole rye kernels as well as rye flakes; would it be possible to grind my own meal? 

 

Thanks!

Can't beat a good Scone!

Plain Scones:

- 225 gr flour

- 55 gr softened butter

- 25 gr sugar

- 15 gr baking powder

- Pinch of salt

- 150 ml milk

- One egg.

Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and softened butter, until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add milk. You’ll get a very sticky dough, but don’t worry. Put the dough on a floured surface. Make a ball. If it is still sticky, add a little bit more of flour. Then shape a circle about 2 cm high. Cut round pieces. Paint with beaten egg. Bake 12 minutes at 200C (392 F).
