Danish and Lithuanian Scalded Rye Breads
Hi everybody, especially rye bread enthusiasts... Just wanted to post some things that I have been working on:
12/7/13 - Danish Rye Bread
This one turned out really well for winging it. It's a mix of a bunch of stuff, freshly cracked rye, spelt, wheat berries, rye flour, pumpkin/flax/sesame seeds, old bread, rye sourdough, spelt stiff levain, barley malt syrup, blackstrap molasses.
12/11/13 - Lithuanian Scalded Rye Bread
This one was inspired by this video with Paul Hollywood of the Karaway Bakery in London: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2az4i_XP4Uc [1]

My attempt consisted of 95% rye flour, 5% AP flour, water, blackstrap molasses, barley malt, salt, caraway seeds.
Here is a photo of the nice side of the loaf. I think it could have been proofed a little longer... I will cut into it tomorrow to see what it looks like. From the good side, it looks pretty good...
12/13/13 - Crumbshots and Breakfast
Until the next loaf...
