A German rye

March 20, 2019 - 1:41pm -- OldLoaf

This is my first attempt at one of Stan Ginsberg's recipes.  It's the German "Franconia Crusty Boule" from The Rye Baker.

Having read his book several times, I was prepared for the inevitable "stickiness" and tenacity of working with the rye dough.  And it certainly lived up to its reputation!

I also didn't have dark rye on hand, so I used pumpernickel in its place.  I decided to use the "bread spice" he calls for in the recipe.

For the bake I used a Lodge combo cooker.
