70% dark rye / 30% whole wheat

In an attempt to reproduce the rye bread from a local farmer's market I baked this bread.  It is a four-stage sourdough bread, 70% dark rye, 30% whole wheat, 72% hydration, 1.8% salt, 2% molasses, 0.1% instant yeast.  30% of rye flour is scalded (5 hrs @ 155 F) together with baker's 5% of a 2:1 mixture of white and red rye malts.  The final dough had developed some gluten after mixing/kneading, not much though.  This bread tastes great; however, I think the bread from the market has less rye in it and more gluten.

Lucy a determined German!  I like it too.  She would want to DaPumperize it of course but to each their own I say.  It is great looking bread that has ti taste even better.  Very well done indeed.

Happy rye baking

Wow.  How much did it rise?  That's amazing.  Very tall pan.  Well done!

Tip:  Before baking, a wet spoon or spatula can push the overhanging dough gently back over to the inside edge without deflating the loaf.  :)

Proofing after shaping was for 1.5 hr at 90F; the dough rose more than 1.5x. Before shaping the dough fermented for around 4 hours at 85. Thank you for the tip!
