whole rye flour smell?
hey,
i'm a newbie to rye.
the whole rye flour i just bought has an earthy / wet soil / dust smell.
the first loaf i baked with it (10% WW, 20% rye 70% white flour) also has a hint of the same smell.
i don't remember noticing this smell in store bought rye bread.
is this typical? is it whole rye very minerally? or do i just have moldy flour?
