Is 100% Rye without Sourdough Possible?
I tried this question before but am not sure I got a direct answer. So here goes. I just made the recipe listed below but want to make a 100% Rye. Can I just substitute all rye flour for the whole wheat flour and proceed? (Flour is getting costly and I don't like messing up) Thanks.
