Sourdough Rye Bread with a whole wheat starter
I am a happy baker today - my first all sourdough loaf of bread worked out pretty well. It's a 50-50 rye/AP flour loaf with orange zest, fennel, caraway and anise seeds. The recipe is from http://www.breadtopia.com . It spread out somewhat in the oven even though it was proofed in a brotform. I'm guessing that's why the author of the recipe baked his in a clay cooker. Here is picture of the loaf once out of the oven. I'll post crumb once cooled.

I've heard it said, "All the World loves a happy baker." First sourdough loaf? Great job! Now that you've started sourdough what to do with all those bigas, poolishes and sponges. :-)

bread based on its spices. Beautiful !
I had some really great sourdough rye that a guy brought to a potluck last week and from what he told me of the recipe I think this is the same! ( I didn't write his recipe down at the time. )
I found that breadtopia recipe at http://www.breadtopia.com/sourdough-rye-bread/ . Thanks!
