What a nice bread to make - and it only took half a day since I already had the starter build ready - retarding in the fridge. It is what Phil calls simple baking which is why I chose it. It has to simple and stress less after all these 3 day ordeals of late :-). Rye SD with caraway is my favorite bread - by far. This one besides being easy, is also top notch. Phil knows his bread baking ! Lovely texture and taste, crispy crunchy crust to cut but soft and chewy when eaten. I had it plain, buttered, toasted, creamed with cheese and it was all good. The lox was frozen but I bet it too would have been fabulous with this fine bread. This is a fine every day family rye that almost all will enjoy. Here are some more pics of how I did it - which is far away from what the pro's like Phil do and my sorry attempt proves it. Still haven't got a decent camera, so the cell phone shots will have to do.......
I'm getting better slowly but surely. It is a nice feeling . Bake Phil's 40% Rye with Caraway. You will like it.
