Rye recipe question

Hi

i want to make a loaf of rye that would be good for blt sandwiches. I’m thinking of this?

rye flour 35%

whole wheat 10%

bread flour 55%

20% starter

72% hydration

added caraway seeds, molasses and grated orange peel

2% salt

any suggestions on this?  I could add a bit of yeast, I don’t want a large open crumb, more like the rye you purchase at the grocery store

thanks in advance

Assuming you use dark rye I would think you can go a bit higher with the hydration. 
Then 75% would work just fine.
