PR 100% Sourdough Rye Bread...seeds?
In the formula for this it says optional 1/2 oz caraway, anise or other seeds...i'm not big on rye so if y'all could make some suggestions for seeds that would go well in this bread?

I was given a loaf of Lithuanian bread that was splendid. It has a very tight sour crumb and wonderful chewy crust.
The ingredients on the back include: wheat flour, malted barley flour, rye flour, whole grain rye flour, water, yeast, sea salt, and............Vinegar. Baked with coarse corn meal.
Since I am a novice to this stuff I am not able to read betweeen the lines on this recipe.
Can one of the pros here fill me in on how to go about baking this bread or something similar?
Thanks,

Hello everyone!
My oven is no longer heating above 350F so I'm trying to get another one...
I found a second hand "miele classic" oven (I don't know the model number) for a good price, BUT it is 7 years old.
Is 7 years is a long time for an oven? As far as I understand Miele is one of the best home oven makers, but maybe 7 years is a bit too much?
I was baking in my mother in law Miele oven and it was great... but maybe becuase it wasn't 7 years old?
Does someone has an experience with that?
Thanks a lot!
I LOVE sourdough bread.
I would like to try several starters from around the country/world to see how differant or/not they are.
Anyone willing to send me a small sample?

Thanks.
I will post results as I try each starter.
I've noticed that all the bloggers here have great looking breads. I think it's going to be awhile before I get good enough (If ever) to start a blog of my own. When I make what I think is a pretty decent loaf I look through the blog pages and think " Oh Man, do I have a long way to go". You guys are a great inspiration and very helpful, but looking at your baking (looks like art to me) can also be a little disheartening. No disrespect intended. Dave
... the Messerschmidt Grain Mill attachment for KitchenAid mixers?
pleasanthillgrain.com has a Family Grain Mill (FMG) which allows for direct attachment to KitchenAid mixers. The advert offers "better" than KA's own grain mill attachment. And they're touting infinite gradations and finer results.
I was wondering if anyone has used one of these?
TIA

OK, I left it in the fridge for a few weeks all by it self with no care at all.
I took it out and it looked funny, liquid on top and some discoloration "spots" on the surface both on the dry places above the liquid as well as under the liquid, but after I mixed it up it looked and smelled (yeasty) just like I think a starter should.
I added a little flour and it looked normal so will give it a try.
Now the questions.
1: Can a starter go bad and not be safe to eat?
2: If it can go bad, how can I tell?
