you can make your own red rye malt.  Every baker for hundreds of years had their own recipe for Borodisky with various hydration so it is hard to find  the real recipe since it doesn't exist :-)  Yours looks great and if nana love it then the recipe you used is close enough.

Making Red Rye Malt

 

Well done and Happy baking

I think I will try making my own rye malt - I do like the colour molasses brings, but not a bit fan of the flavour

Thank you
