In Search of High % Rye Sourdough Rye Bread Recipe
I went abut this backwards and made the stater first - story of my life. Anyway, I have searched and haven't found a recipe for a high % rye Sourdough Rye Bread. So, I have my starter ready, a long weekend, and no recipe. If you have a recipe to share or can point me to a thread I'd appreciate it. I'm old fashioned-something in USA volume measurements would be best. I do have Reinhart's BBA if all else fails. Thanks and Happy Easter to you!

Hi 3 Olives.
If you want a Jewish Sour Rye recipe (about 50% rye), I recommend this one: Sour Rye Bread from George Greenstein's “Secrets of a Jewish Baker”.
If you want a German-type rye (70% rye), you can't beat this one: Hansjoakim's Favorite 70% Sourdough Rye.
If you want a bread with more or less rye, let us know.
Note that both the breads I linked to are made with a rye sour. If you have a wheat flour-based sourdough starter, you can convert it to a rye sour by feeding it with rye flour a couple of times. And the link that Anna provided tells you how to feed a rye sour.
I hope this helps.
Happy baking!
David
